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

aimsThe purpose of this study is to investigate whether the NG2(+) cells, a class of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells, is involved in the pathophysiology of stroke in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR-SP).

methodsSHR-SP, SHR, Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), and C57BJ/6 mice were used. Immunohistochemistry was conducted to evaluate the number of NG2(+) cells in frozen brain sections. Demyelination was evaluated by Sudan black staining and serum level of myelin basic protein. Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was performed to prepare experimental stroke model.

resultsThe number of NG2(+) cells was significantly decreased in infarct core and increased in penumbra in WKY rats after MCAO. In brain sections of 6-month-old SHR-SP, the number of NG2(+) cells was significantly (P < 0.01) less than that in age-matched SHR and WKY rats. However, this phenomenon was not observed in 3-month-old rats. Demyelination was found in 6-month-old SHR-SP but not in 3-month-old SHR-SP. Pharmacological treatment of cuprizone in mice induced demyelination and enlargement of cerebral infarction after MCAO.

conclusionThe decline of NG2(+) cells may cause demyelination and contribute to the susceptibility of SHR-SP to ischemic brain injury.
