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

Angiogenesis is a key restorative process following stroke but has also been linked to increased vascular permeability and blood brain barrier (BBB) disruption. Previous pre-clinical approaches primarily focused on the administration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to promote vascular repair after stroke. Although shown to improve angiogenesis and functional recovery from stroke, VEGF increased the risk of blood brain barrier disruption and bleedings to such an extent that its clinical use is contraindicated. As an alternative strategy, antibodies against the neurite growth inhibitory factor Nogo-A have recently been shown to enhance vascular regeneration in the ischemic central nervous system (CNS); however, their effect on vascular permeability is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that antibody-mediated Nogo-A neutralization following stroke has strong pro-angiogenic effects but does not increase vascular permeability as opposed to VEGF. Moreover, VEGF-induced vascular permeability was partially prevented when VEGF was co-administered with anti-Nogo-A antibodies. This study may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for vascular repair and maturation in the ischemic brain.
