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

Subarachnoid hemorrhage due to rupture of an intracranial aneurysm has a quite poor prognosis after the onset of symptoms, despite the modern technical advances. Thus, the mechanisms underlying the rupture of lesions should be clarified. To this end, we obtained gene expression profile data and identified the neutrophil-related enriched terms in rupture-prone lesions using Gene Ontology analysis. Next, to validate the role of neutrophils in the rupture of lesions, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) was administered to a rat model, in which more than half of induced lesions spontaneously ruptured, leading to subarachnoid hemorrhage. As a result, G-CSF treatment not only increased the number of infiltrating neutrophils, but also significantly facilitated the rupture of lesions. To clarify the mechanisms of how neutrophils facilitate this rupture, we used HL-60 cell line and found an enhanced collagenolytic activity, corresponding to matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), upon inflammatory stimuli. The immunohistochemical analyses revealed the accumulation of neutrophils around the site of rupture and the production of MMP9 from these cells in situ. Consistently, the collagenolytic activity of MMP9 could be detected in the lysate of ruptured lesions. These results suggest the crucial role of neutrophils to the rupture of intracranial aneurysms; implying neutrophils as a therapeutic or diagnostic target candidate.
