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

aimTo study whether inhibiting microglia migration to the ischemic boundary zone (IBZ) at the early phase could improve neurological outcomes after stroke.

methodsThe transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) was induced in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. AMD3100, a highly selective CXC-chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) antagonist, was used to inhibit microglia migration. Microglia was evaluated by immunofluorescence in vivo, and their migration was tested by transwell assay in vitro. Expressions of cytokines were detected by real-time PCR. Infarct volume was determined by triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. Functional recovery of tMCAO rats was evaluated by behavior tests.

resultsM1 microglia in the IBZ was rapidly increased within 3 days after tMCAO, accompanied with enhanced expression of CXCR4. Chemokine CXC motif chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) was also increased in the IBZ. And AMD3100 could obviously decline M1 microglia migration induced by CXCL12 and secretion of related inflammatory cytokines in the IBZ after stroke. This was accompanied by significant attenuated infarct volume and improved neurological outcomes.

conclusionThis study confirms the protective efficacy of inhibiting microglia migration at the hyperacute phase as a therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke in tMCAO model of rats, and its therapeutic time window could last for 24 h after cerebral ischemia reperfusion.
