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

Diabetes is associated with increased risk and worsened outcome of stroke. Previous studies showed that male diabetic animals had greater hemorrhagic transformation (HT), profound loss of cerebral vasculature, and poor behavioral outcomes after ischemic stroke induced by suture or embolic middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Females are protected from stroke until reaching the menopause age, but young females with diabetes have a higher risk of stroke and women account for the majority of stroke mortality. The current study postulated that diabetes is associated with greater vascular injury and exacerbated sensorimotor and cognitive outcome after stroke even in young female animals. Male and female control and diabetic animals were subjected to transient MCAO and followed for 3 or 14 days to assess the neurovascular injury and repair. The vascularization indices after stroke were lower in male diabetic animals with 90-min but not 60-min ischemia/reperfusion injury, while there was no change in female groups. Cognitive deficits were exacerbated in both male and female groups regardless of the injury period, while the sensorimotor dysfunction was worsened in male diabetic animals with longer ischemia time. These results suggest that diabetes negates the protection afforded by sex in young female animals, and post-stroke vascularization pattern is influenced by the degree of injury and correlates with functional outcome in both sexes. Vasculoprotection after acute ischemic stroke may provide a novel therapeutic strategy in diabetes.
