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

background and purposeSubarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating stroke, in which acidosis is one of detrimental complications. The extracellular pH reduction can activate G protein-coupled receptor 4 (GPR4) in the brain. Yet, the extent to which proton-activated GPR4 contributes to the early brain injury (EBI) post-SAH remains largely unexplored. Ferroptosis, iron-dependent programmed cell death, has recently been shown to contribute to EBI. We aimed to investigate the effects of GPR4 inhibition on neurological deficits and neuronal ferroptosis after SAH in rats.

methodsA total 253 Sprague Dawley (SD) male rats (weighing 275-330g) were utilized in this study. SAH was induced by endovascular perforation. NE-52-QQ57 (NE), a selective antagonist of GPR4 was administered intraperitoneally 1-h post-SAH. To explore the mechanisms, RhoA activator U-46619 and YAP activator PY-60 were delivered intracerebroventricularly. Short- and long-term neurobehavior, SAH grading, Western blot assay, ELISA assay, immunofluorescence staining, and transmission electron microscopy was performed post-SAH.

resultsFollowing SAH, there was an upregulation of GPR4 expression in neurons. GPR4 inhibition by NE improved both short-term and long-term neurological outcomes post-SAH. NE also reduced neuronal ferroptosis, as evidenced by decreased lipid peroxidation products 4HNE and MDA levels in brain tissues, and reduced mitochondrial shrinkage, increased mitochondria crista and decreased membrane density. The application of either U-46619 or PY-60 partially offset the neuroprotective effects of NE on neuronal ferroptosis in SAH rats.

conclusionsThis study demonstrated that acid-sensing receptor GPR4 contributed to neuronal ferroptosis after SAH via RhoA/YAP pathway, and NE may be a potential therapeutic strategy to attenuate GPR4 mediated neuronal ferroptosis and EBI after SAH.
