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

The present study established a model of focal cerebral ischemia through heat-coagulation induced occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. Following electroacupuncture at Baihui (GV20) and Dazhui (GV14), or intracerebroventricular infusion of AG490, a Janus kinase 2 phosphorylation inhibitor, the amount of necrotic or degenerated neurons in the ischemic cerebral cortex decreased, neuronal swelling was ameliorated, and expression of phosphorylated Janus kinase 2 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 decreased. Results confirmed that electroacupuncture promoted neuronal repair in the cerebral cortex by reducing expression of phosphorylated Janus kinase 2 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, as well as weakening the phosphorylated activation, thereby blocking abnormal activation of the Janus kinase 2- signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 signal transduction pathway.
