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

Cerebral ischemia is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, reflecting the extraordinary sensitivity of the brain to a brief loss of blood flow. A significant goal has been to identify pathways of neuronal injury that are selectively activated after stroke and may be amenable to drug therapy. An important advance was made nearly 25 years ago when Ca(2+) overload was implicated as a critical link between glutamate excitotoxicity and ischemic neurodegeneration. However, early hope for effective therapies faded as glutamate-targeted trials repeatedly failed to demonstrate efficacy in humans. In a review in 2000 in this journal, we described new evidence linking a related cation, zinc (Zn(2+)), to neuronal injury, emphasizing sources and mechanisms of Zn(2+) toxicity. The current review highlights progress over the last decade, emphasizing mechanisms through which Zn(2+) ions (from multiple sources) participate together with Ca(2+) in different stages of cascades of ischemic injury.
