High-Throughput mRNA Sequencing Reveals Potential Therapeutic Targets of Febuxostat in Secondary Injury After Intracerebral Hemorrhage.
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Febuxostat is a urate-lowering medication for the treatment of patients with gout. This study was performed to elucidate the effects and underlying mechanisms of febuxostat on neuronal injury induced by intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in mice. The results showed that the administration of febuxostat improved neurological severity scores and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Moreover, febuxostat attenuated neuronal cell death and cytokine levels compared with the ICH group. Next, we conducted a transcriptome analysis of the neuroprotective effects of febuxostat. The overlapping significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Gene ontology (GO) analysis revealed that the overlapping significant DEGs were most enriched in five items. The intersecting DEGs of the aforementioned five pathways were Wisp1, Wnt7b, Frzb, and Pitx2. In addition, GO terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways revealed that DEGs were mainly involved in the wnt signaling pathway. Furthermore, the expression of Wisp1 and Wnt7b in the perihematomal region at 72 h post-ICH was observed. The results showed that both Wisp1 and Wnt7b were increased in the ICH group and were decreased by the administration of febuxostat. Taken together, the study showed that febuxostat protected against secondary brain injury after ICH and the Wnt7b-Wisp1 pathway was closely related to neuroprotective effects.
