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

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the potential mechanism by which Monocyte locomotion inhibitory factor (MLIF) improves the outcome of ischemic stroke (IS) inflammatory injury. Methods: Potential MLIF-related targets were predicted using Swiss TargetPrediction and PharmMapper, while IS-related targets were found from GeneCards, PharmGKB, and Therapeutic Target Database (TTD). After obtaining the intersection from these two datasets, the Search Tool for Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Protein (STRING11.0) database was used to analyze the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of the intersection and candidate genes for MLIF treatment of IS. The candidate genes were imported into the Metascape database for Gene Ontology (GO) functional analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment. The top 20 core genes and the "MLIF-target-pathway" network were mapped using the Cytoscape3.9.1. Using AutoDock Vina1.1.2, the molecular docking validation of the hub targets and MLIF was carried out. In the experimental part, transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) and oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) models were used to evaluate the protective efficacy of MLIF and the expression of inflammatory cytokines and the putative targets. Results: MLIF was expected to have an effect on 370 targets. When these targets were intersected with 1,289 targets for ischemic stroke, 119 candidate therapeutic targets were found. The key enriched pathways were PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and MAPK signaling pathway, etc. The GO analysis yielded 1,677 GO entries ( Conclusion: MLIF may exert a cerebral protective effect by inhibiting the inflammatory response through suppressing the JNK/AP-1 signaling pathway.
