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

The present study aimed to investigate whether adenosine A1 receptor (A1R) agonists can alleviate cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury by inhibiting pyroptosis mediated through the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) signaling pathway. A total of 36 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to the following four groups: Sham (sham group), I/R (model group), adenosine A1 receptor agonist preconditioning [model + adenosine A1R agonist 2-chloro-N(6)-cyclopentyladenosine] group and ML385 (model + adenosine A1R agonist group + Nrf2 pathway inhibitor group). A middle cerebral artery occlusion model was induced using the thread occlusion method. Neurological function was assessed using the Longa scale, brain infarction volume was determined through 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining, protein expression of Nrf2, NLRP3, caspase-1, GSDMD and IL-1β was assessed using western blotting, and the expression of Nrf2 and GSDMD was assessed using immunofluorescence. The findings revealed that adenosine A1R agonist improved neurological function and reduced infarct size. Mechanistically, this was found to be associated with the activation of the Nrf2/NLRP3 signaling pathway and the suppression of pyroptosis-associated proteins (gasdermin D, caspase-1 and IL-1β) expression. Notably, the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 reversed the aforementioned effects induced by the adenosine A1R agonist. These results suggest that adenosine A1R agonist can alleviate cerebral I/R injury in rats, potentially by modulating the Nrf2/NLRP3 signaling pathway to inhibit pyroptosis.
