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

It is well known that acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and subsequent reperfusion produce lethal levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in neuronal cells, which are generated in mitochondria. Mitochondrial ROS production is a self-amplifying process, termed "ROS-induced ROS release". Furthermore, the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) is deeply involved in this process, and its opening could cause cell death. Edaravone, a free radical scavenger, is the only neuroprotective agent for AIS used in Japan. It captures and reduces excessive ROS, preventing brain damage. Cyclosporine A (CsA), an immunosuppressive agent, is a potential neuroprotective agent for AIS. It has been investigated that CsA prevents cellular death by suppressing MPTP opening. In this report, we will outline the actions of edaravone and CsA as neuroprotective agents in AIS, focusing on their relationship with ROS and MPTP.
