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

The failure of neuroprotective treatment-related clinical trials may be partially caused by unestablished animal models. Existing animal models are less likely to provide occlusion confined to the middle cerebral artery (MCA), making transarterial intervention difficult. We aimed to develop a novel focal stroke model using a microcatheter and zirconium dioxide that is non-magnetic under fluoroscopic guidance, which can monitor MCA occlusion and can improve hemorrhagic complications. Using male Sprague Dawley rats (n = 10), a microcatheter was navigated from the caudal ventral artery to the left internal carotid artery using an X-ray fluoroscopy to establish local occlusion. All rat cerebral angiographies were successful. No rats had hemorrhagic complications. Eight (80%) rats underwent occlusion of the MCA bifurcation by zirconium dioxide. Accidentally, the left posterior cerebral artery was failure embolized in 2 rats (20%). The median operating time was 8 min. All rats of occlusion MCA revealed an incomplete hemiparesis on the right side with neurological deficit score ranging from 1 to 3 (median 1, interquartile range 1-3) at 24 h after the induction of ischemia. Moreover, 2% 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining showed that the median infarct volume (mm
