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

Status epilepticus (SE), a life-threatening neurologic emergency, is often poorly controlled by the current pharmacological therapeutics, which are limited to a narrow time window. Here, we investigated the proinflammatory cytokine high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) as a candidate therapeutic target for diazepam (DZP)-refractory SE. We found that HMGB1 was upregulated and translocated rapidly during refractory SE period. Exogenous HMGB1 was sufficient to directly induce DZP-refractory SE in nonrefractory SE. Neutralization of HMGB1 with an anti-HMGB1 monoclonal antibody decreased the incidence of SE and alleviated the severity of seizure activity in DZP-refractory SE, which was mediated by a Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-dependent pathway. Importantly, anti-HMGB1 mAb reversed DZP-refractory SE with a wide time window, extending the therapeutic window from 30 to 180 min. Furthermore, we found the upregulation of plasma HMGB1 level is closely correlated with the therapeutic response of anti-HMGB1 mAb in DZP-refractory SE. All these results indicated that HMGB1 is a potential therapeutic target and a useful predictive biomarker in DZP-refractory SE.
