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

Ischemic stroke is the main cause of death and disability in human diseases worldwide. Due to the complexity of its pathophysiological mechanism, the treatment effect is not ideal. Epigenetics refers to the mechanisms of affecting gene function and expression by chemical modification or chromatin structure without changing the DNA sequence. The epigenetic network is mainly composed of various epigenetic modifying enzymes (such as DNA methyltransferase/demethylase, DNMT/tet, histone methyltransferase/demethylase, HMT/hdm, histone acetyltransferase/deacetylase hat/hdac) and non-coding RNAs with different functions. Epigenetic enzymes or non-coding RNAs can participate in the core pathophysiological processes after ischemic stroke, such as neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and cell apoptosis, by regulating the activation or silencing of key gene transcription. Due to the regulatory role of epigenetic modifying enzymes and non-coding RNAs after ischemic stroke, targeted intervention of these epigenetic modifying enzymes and non-coding RNAs has been confirmed to improve the pathological process and neurological outcome after ischemia. Therefore, they are regarded as a series of therapeutic targets with great research and development potential. This study systematically reviewed the role and mechanism of DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA in the pathological development of ischemic stroke, and discussed the research progress of related therapeutic drugs targeting these epigenetic modifying enzymes, in order to provide a theoretical basis and ideas for the development of new clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies for ischemic stroke.
