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

To investigate mechanism of pericytes in the early stage of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and its associated microvascular spasm and neurovascular injury, 100 healthy 8-week-old Sprague-Dawley male rats were taken as subjects and divided into four groups: group A (sham operation, control group), group B (SAH operation group), group C (SAH operation group treated with scutellarin), and group D (SAH operation group treated with L-nitro-arginine). 72 hours after the operation, the rats were conducted assessment of neurological impairment, observation of microangiography, detection of blood-brain barrier permeability, observation of skull base haemorrhage, identification of pericyte culture, and measurement of blood nitric oxide. The results showed that neurological impairment score, degree of micro-vasoconstriction, and BBB permeability of group C were significantly better than those of group B and D (P<0.05), there was no significant difference between group C and group A (P>0.05). There were significantly fewer blood clots in the brain of group C, and the order of expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in perioperative cells of the four groups from highest to lowest were D, B, C, and A. Nitric oxide concentration inhibited expression of α-SMA in pericytes after SAH at both protein and mRNA levels. The detection results of nitric oxide in the blood of four groups of rats confirmed that pericyte phenotype conversion and actin α-SMA expression could be prevented by upregulation of nitric oxide in serum, so as to relieve pathological symptoms after SAH operation.
