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

Damaged vascular endothelial cells after ischemic stroke release inflammatory cytokines and adhesion molecules, which could trigger platelet adhesion to vascular endothelial cells and platelet activation, and accelerate thrombus formation. Tetramethylpyrazine is the main bioactive component of Chuanxiong, which has demonstrated considerable protective effects in cerebrovascular diseases. However, the effect and mechanisms of tetramethylpyrazine on platelet adhesion to ischemia/reperfusion-injured endothelial cells have not been elucidated. In this study, we established an oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) injury model to investigate the protective effects of tetramethylpyrazine on platelet adhesion to endothelial cells and potential mechanisms. Experimental results showed that tetramethylpyrazine inhibited platelets adhesion to BMECs, alleviated expression of inflammatory cytokines and adhesion molecules on BMECs, and protected BMECs injured by OGD/R. Furthermore, tetramethylpyrazine could inhibit P38 MAPK and NF-κB activation in injured BMECs by OGD/R and inhibition of P38 MAPK with SB303580 and NF-κB with Bay-11-7082 attenuated the reduction of platelets adhesion to BMECs by tetramethylpyrazine. In conclusion, tetramethylpyrazine protected BMECs and inhibited platelets adhesion to BMECs after OGD/R injury, which was partially mediated by inhibiting P38 MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways.
