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

backgroundSpinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury (SCIRI) is a serious disease that can result in irreversible neuronal damage, leading to the loss of sensory and motor function. Cuproptosis, a novel form of regulated cell death, has been studied in various diseases. However, the role and mechanism of cuproptosis in SCIRI remain to be elucidated.

resultsThe results of transcriptome analysis showed significant downregulation of ATP7B, which regulates copper ion efflux. Concurrently, another key cuproptosis-related gene, FDX1, was significantly altered. Thus, we performed qPCR and Western blot assays in vivo and in vitro to detect changes in cuproptosis-related genes. The results indicated that cuproptosis was indeed activated by SCIRI or OGD/R. Moreover, immunofluorescence/immunohistochemitry staining and neuronal activity tests were consistent with the above results. Furthermore, we also proved that ammonium tetrathiomolybdate, a copper chelator and cuproptosis inhibitor, could not only ameliorate neuronal damage and promote neuronal survival but also improve lower limb motor dysfunction.

conclusionsSCIRI caused ATP7B downregulation, which blocked copper ion efflux, leading to copper ion accumulation, DLAT oligomerization, degradation of iron-sulfur cluster proteins and ultimately cuproptosis in neurons.
