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

To observe the effects of minimally invasive procedures for the evacuation of intracerebral hematomas on perihematomal ET-1 expression and their correlation with blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Forty-five rabbits (2.8-3.4 kg body weight) were randomly divided into a normal control group (NC group, 15 rabbits), a model control group (MC group, 15 rabbits) and a minimally invasive group (MI group, 15 rabbits). A model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) was prepared in the MC and MI groups by infusing autologous arterial blood into the rabbits' brains; the same procedure was also performed in the NC group but without infusing blood into the rabbits' brains. The intracerebral hematomas were evacuated by a stereotactic procedure in the minimally invasive group 6 h after the model was established. The neurological functions, ET-1 expression and the perihematomal BBB permeability were determined and analyzed in all of the animals. The number of endothelial cells with ET-1-positive expression and the perihematomal BBB permeability significantly increased 1, 3, and 7 days after the ICH model was prepared successfully, as compared to the NC group. In the MI group, however, both measurements decreased markedly compared with the MC group at the same time point. A positive correlation between the number of endothelial cells with ET-1-positive expression and BBB permeability was observed. Increased BBB permeability might be associated with perihematomal ET-1 levels. Minimally invasive procedures for the evacuation of intracerebral hematomas could significantly decrease BBB permeability in perihematomal brain tissues, likely by reducing the production of ET-1.
