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: Thromboinflammatory processes modulate the complex pathophysiology of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in ischemic stroke, but the exact underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Emerging evidence indicates that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) might play an important role in the thromboinflammatory cascade. In addition, the link between von Willebrand factor (VWF) and neutrophil recruitment in the ischemic brain might promote thromboinflammation, possibly by the formation of NETs. Objectives: To study NET formation in a murine model of cerebral I/R injury in ischemic stroke. Methods: The filament-induced transient middle cerebral artery occlusion model was used to induce 60 minutes of focal cerebral ischemia after which reperfusion was allowed. At different time points postischemia, NETs were identified in the ischemic mouse brain using quantitative immunofluorescence microscopy. Results: NETs could be identified in the ipsilateral brain hemisphere. Interestingly, NETs could already be detected at 6 hours poststroke. Their presence increased at 12 hours, was highest at 24 hours, and decreased again 48 hours postischemia. Remarkably, NETs were predominantly localized within the brain vasculature postischemia, suggesting that NETs play a role in secondary microthrombosis. Strikingly, NET formation was significantly decreased in VWF-deficient mice compared to littermate wild-type mice 24 hours postischemia, indicating a possible role for VWF in promoting NETosis in the ischemic brain. Conclusion: This study identified the spatiotemporal profile of NET formation in a mouse model of cerebral I/R injury in ischemic stroke. NETs, potentially in combination with VWF, might be attractive targets for the development of novel therapeutic strategies in ischemic stroke treatment.
