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

Background: Our previous work has shown that inflammatory processes play a detrimental role in the pathophysiology of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been recognized as a key contributor to the proinflammatory response in AIS and could aggravate blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage. Recently, experimental and clinical researches showed that Edaravone Dexborneol (Eda.B), which is comprised of two active ingredients, Edaravone and (+)-Borneol, was effective in treatment of AIS. However, it is not clear whether the effects of Eda.B against AIS are related to NETs and BBB permeability. Methods: Experiment 1 was to detect the effects of Eda.B in AIS patients. Serum samples of volunteers and AIS patients were collected before and 3 days after Edaravone Dexborneol treatment. Markers of NETs and occludin were detected by ELISA kit. Experiment 2 was to explore the effects of Eda.B on experimental stroke mice. Male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and treated with vehicle, Eda.B, or DeoxyribonueleaseI (DNase I). After stroke, the neurobehavioral tests, infarct volume, and cerebral blood flow evaluation were determined. Leakage of Evans blue was to assess the integrity of BBB. Western blot, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and immunofluorescence were used to examine the expression of NETs and tight junction- (TJ-) associated proteins. Results: Eda.B significantly improved neurological function and cerebral blood flow but reduced infarct volume after experimental stroke. Eda.B downregulated level of NETs in serum samples of AIS patients and tissue samples of MCAO mouse cortex. Eda.B and DNase I alleviated BBB permeability by upregulating TJ-associated proteins. Conclusion: NETs are related to the early stage of AIS. Eda.B exerted neuroprotective effects and ameliorated BBB permeability after AIS.
