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

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) induces high level of neutrophils, which correlates inversely with patient survival. Pyroptosis induced by gasdermin D (GSDMD) has been shown to have an important role in the pathophysiology of several inflammatory disorders. The role of GSDMD in the high level of neutrophils after AIS is unknown. Using a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mouse model, we identified activation of pyroptosis signal, including expression of caspase-1/11, GSDMD, and interleukin-1β/18 (IL-1β/18), in the brain and spleen at early ischemic injury. Knockout of GSDMD in mice reduced infarct size, improved neurological function, and increased survival after MCAO. GSDMD deficiency decreased the overall degree of inflammation and the proportion of neutrophils in the brain after MCAO. Quantitative studies of neutrophils at several time intervals and organs demonstrated that early inflammatory leucocyte production and supplement (1 day after MCAO) was GSDMD-dependent. A series of bone marrow transplantation experiments, neutrophil depletion experiments, and RNA sequencing results demonstrated that neutrophil specific GSDMD is essential for the production and supply of neutrophil in bone marrow to blood. Moreover, pharmacological suppression of GSDMD decreased pathological abnormalities, infarct volume, and ameliorated neurological function. These results provided a new viewpoint on the immunological modulation of neutrophils after MCAO and suggest that suppression of GSDMD may relieve the neuroinflammatory load, thereby providing a potential treatment strategy for stroke. The absence of GSDMD reduces the high level of neutrophils in the brain, the production of neutrophils in bone marrow, and the supply of blood and spleen, while simultaneously the neutrophil-specific GSDMD signal deficiency restrains leukocytosis to improve the pathological outcome of AIS.
