1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectivesStudies have widely explored in the filed of ischemic stroke (IS) with their focus on transcription factors. However, few studies have pivoted on sex determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2) in IS. Thus, this study is launched to figure out the mechanisms of SOX2 in IS.

methodsRat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was established as a stroke model. MCAO rats were injected with depleted SOX2 or long non-coding RNA plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) to explore their roles in neurological deficits, cerebral water content, neuron survival, apoptosis and oxidative stress. The relationship among SOX2, PVT1, microRNA (miR)-24-3p and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) was verified by a series of experiments.

resultsSOX2, PVT1 and STAT3 were highly expressed while miR-24-3p was poorly expressed in cerebral cortex tissues of MCAO rats. Depleted SOX2 or PVT1 alleviated brain injury in MCAO rats as reflected by neuronal apoptosis and oxidative stress restriction, brain water content reduction, and neurological deficit and neuron survival improvements. Overexpression of PVT1 functioned oppositely. Restored miR-24-3p abolished PVT1 overexpression-induced brain injury in MCAO rats. SOX2 directly promoted PVT1 expression and further increased STAT3 by sponging miR-24-3p.

conclusionThis study presents that depleting SOX2 improves IS via PVT1/miR-24-3p/STAT3 axis which may broaden our knowledge about the mechanisms of SOX2/PVT1/miR-24-3p/STAT3 axis and provide a reference of therapy for IS.
