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

introductionWe aimed to explore potential cytokines involved in the malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (MMI) and elucidate their underlying regulatory mechanisms.

methodsWe first developed a cytokine profile by Quantibody

resultsA total of 10 differentially expressed cytokines were identified from 320 unique inflammatory cytokines in serums. Among them, four cytokines, like NCAM1 (neural cell adhesion molecule 1), IGFBP-6 (insulin-like growth factor binding protein 6), LYVE1 (lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor 1), and LCN2 (Lipocalin2), were up-regulated, while another six cytokines, such as TGFB1 (transforming growth factor, beta 1, also known as LAP), EGF (epidermal growth factor), PDGFA (platelet-derived growth factor alpha polypeptide), MMP-10 (matrix metallopeptidase 10), IL-27 (interleukin 27), and CCL2 (chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 2), were down-regulated. Moreover, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway was significantly enriched.

conclusionsOur findings indicate that 10 differentially expressed cytokines, such as NCAM1, LCN2, IGFBP-6, LYVE1, MMP-10, IL-27, PDGFA, EGF, CCL2, and TGFB1 may participate in the development of MMI. Moreover, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway may be an important mechanism involved in this disease. These differentially expressed cytokines may serve as diagnostic biomarkers or drug targets for MMI.
