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

background'Thromboinflammation' describes a novel concept in stroke pathophysiology that has opened up the possibility of immunotherapeutic approaches which could become promising strategies for targeted stroke therapies in the future.

methodsWe reviewed current evidence for agents approved for multiple sclerosis in preclinical and clinical stroke studies. A systematic review was performed in accordance with the PRISMA statement, searching MEDLINE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and reference lists of articles published until 16 October 2017.

resultsThe review included 52 of 629 identified studies, consisting of 5 clinical and 47 preclinical trials. Most of the studies showed beneficial effects of the evaluated immunotherapeutic drugs in terms of reduction in morphological lesion size and improvement in functional outcome. Nevertheless, the significance of these findings is limited due to the high degree of heterogeneity.

conclusionsImmunotherapy of stroke might be effective and could become a promising treatment strategy, but larger clinical trials with standardized interventions and outcome measures are needed.
