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

Leptomeningeal anastomoses are small distal anastomotic vessels also known as pial collaterals in the brain. These vessels redirect blood flow during an occlusion and are important for stroke treatment and outcome. Pial collaterals have unique hemodynamic forces and experience significantly increased luminal flow and shear stress after the onset of ischemic stroke. However, there is limited knowledge of how pial collaterals respond to flow and shear stress, and whether this response is altered in chronic hypertension. Using an in vitro system, pial collaterals from normotensive and hypertensive rats (n=6-8/group) were isolated and luminal flow was induced with intravascular pressure maintained at 40 mm Hg. Collateral lumen diameter was measured following each flow rate in the absence or presence of pharmacological inhibitors and activators. Collaterals from male and female Wistar rats dilated similarly to increased flow (2 µL/minute: 58.4±18.7% versus 67.9±7.4%;
