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

backgroundPregnancy may be a risk factor for stroke in females. Stroke in pregnancy influences mitochondrial dynamics as well as the inflammatory responses in mothers. However, limited studies are available that report any epigenetic changes in the offspring following a stroke in mothers. In the present study we investigate the effect of stroke in pregnancy as a possible epigenetic modifier correlated with dysfunctional mitochondrial dynamics and exacerbated inflammasome mediated apoptosis in the offsprings. METHODS AND

resultsFemale and male Sprague Dawley rats were housed in the same cage in 1:2 ratio to ensure successful pregnancy. Stroke was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion at gestational day 17. After delivery of F1 generation, bloods were collected from the dams for hormonal study. Brains were harvested from both dams and F1 generation for biochemical, histological, genetic, molecular, and mitochondrial studies. In the F1 generation of stroke induced dams, an increased mitochondrial fission and decreased mitochondrial fusion were observed as compared with normal dams and their F1 generation. Similarly, enhanced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and depolarization were also observed in the F1 generation of stroke induced dams. Exacerbated inflammasome signaling and enhanced apoptosis were also evident in this F1 generation. Changes in histone-methylation corresponding to increased inflammation were also observed in this F1 generation.

conclusionsThe present study reports the occurrence of epigenetic modifications towards mitochondrial dysfunction and exacerbated inflammasome mediated apoptosis in the F1 generation following a stroke in pregnant dams.
