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

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction is a type of cognitive impairment that occurs after surgery. Here, this experiment investigated the role of PLCG1 in sevoflurane-induced model and the molecular mechanisms underlying its regulation of ferroptosis. Single-cell RNA sequencing data and bioinformatic analyses were performed using GEO datasets (GSE196239). Mice were exposed to 2.3% sevoflurane for 2 h daily for 3 consecutive days. PLCG1 expression was up-regulation in patients exposed to sevoflurane. Specifically, blood samples from these patients exhibited elevated levels of PLCG1 mRNA. Consistently, in a mouse model of sevoflurane exposure, both mRNA and protein levels of PLCG1 were significantlyincreased in brain tissue. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis revealed that PLCG1 was predominantly expressed in astrocytes (marked by AQP4, GFAP, LUZP2, and SLC25A28) and neurons (marked by B3GAT2, ENO2, GNG2, and SLC1A1) in sevoflurane-exposed patients. In contrast, PLCG1 expression was undetectable in B cells (CD74, CD79B, CD80, CD86), T cells (CD4, CD8B, CD69, CD247), or macrophages (CD36, CD68, CD83, CD163). In conclusion, PLCG1 drives neuronal ferroptosis in the context of sevoflurane exposure by enhancing mitochondrial oxidative stress and facilitating LAMP2A ubiquitination, thereby impairing the LAMP2A/HSPA8 pathway. These findings position PLCG1 as a promising biomarker and potential therapeutic target for monitoring and mitigating sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity.
