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.
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
objectiveNeutrophil recruitment is a key process in the pathogenesis of stroke, and may provide a valuable therapeutic target. Targeting the melanocortin (MC) receptors has previously shown to inhibit leukocyte recruitment in peripheral inflammation, however, it is not known whether treatments are effective in the unique cerebral microvascular environment. Here, we provide novel research highlighting the effects of the MC peptides on cerebral neutrophil recruitment, demonstrating important yet discrete roles for both MC1 and MC3. APPROACH AND
resultsUsing intravital microscopy, in 2 distinct murine models of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, we have investigated MC control for neutrophil recruitment. After global I/R, pharmacological treatments suppressed pathological neutrophil recruitment. MC1 selective treatment rapidly inhibited neutrophil recruitment while a nonselective MC agonist provided protection even when coadministered with an MC3/4 antagonist, suggesting the importance of early MC1 signaling. However, by 2-hour reperfusion, MC1-mediated effects were reduced, and MC3 anti-inflammatory circuits predominated. Mice bearing a nonfunctional MC1 displayed a transient exacerbation of neutrophil recruitment after global I/R, which diminished by 2 hours. However importantly, enhanced inflammatory responses in both MC1 mutant and MC3 (-/-) mice resulted in increased infarct size and poor functional outcome after focal I/R. Furthermore, we used an in vitro model of leukocyte recruitment to demonstrate these anti-inflammatory actions are also effective in human cells.
conclusionsThese studies reveal for the first time MC control for neutrophil recruitment in the unique pathophysiological context of cerebral I/R, while also demonstrating the potential therapeutic value of targeting multiple MCs in developing effective therapeutics.
