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

Ischemic stroke places an increasing burden on individuals, families, and societies around the world. However, effective therapies or drugs for ischemic stroke are lacking. Therefore, animal models mimicking ischemic stroke in humans are of great value for preclinical experiments. middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in mice or rats and subsequent 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining of brain sections are common methods in the study of experimental animal ischemic stroke. In this study, we present and assess the utility of the semi-automated analysis of the TTC staining (SAT) software program, a novel, small, user-friendly, and free software program, in the quantification of the infarct size in rodent brain sections, with TTC staining, by analyzing images captured by cell phones or scan systems. We performed MCAO and TTC staining in adult mice. We then utilized the SAT software and Image J to analyze the infarct size in the brain sections with TTC staining and compared the findings of the two analysis methods. We found that the data on infarct size from SAT and from Image J were comparable, suggesting that the SAT software could be an alternative option to Image J in the evaluation of ischemic stroke.
