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

backgroundIschemic stroke is a cerebrovascular disease that activates the complement system, leading to inflammation and neuronal injury. TRIM59, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, has been extensively studied in cancer, sepsis, and myocardial infarction, and is upregulated in macrophages after ischemic stroke. This study used myeloid cell Trim59 conditional knockout and macrophage-specific Trim59 overexpression mice to investigate the role of macrophage TRIM59 in regulating complement C3 release and neuronal phagocytosis following cerebral ischemia.

methodsMyeloid cell Trim59 conditional knockout (Trim59-cKO) mice were generated and bred using the Cre-loxP system, and macrophage-specific Trim59 overexpressing (AAV-Trim59) mice were constructed via intra-bone marrow injection. Middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) and photothrombotic (PT) surgery were used to mimic the cerebral ischemia in mice. RT-qPCR, ELISA and immunofluorescence staining were performed to detect the expression of complement molecules and synaptic engulfment. Neurobehavioral tests were performed during recovery phase. Western blot and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay were utilized to analyze the effect of TRIM59 on C3 expression and its transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β (c/EBPβ).

resultsCompared to Trim59

conclusionMacrophage TRIM59 is critical for controlling excessive complement C3 activation, release, and phagocytosis after ischemic stroke by promoting ubiquitin-mediated degradation of its transcription factor c/EBPβ, providing a potential therapeutic target for cerebral ischemia.
