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

Laminin, a major component of the basal lamina in the CNS, is also expressed in oligodendrocytes (OLs). However, the function of OL-derived laminin remains largely unknown. Here, we performed loss-of-function studies using two OL-specific laminin-α5 conditional knockout mouse lines. Both mutants were grossly normal and displayed intact blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity. In a mouse model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), control mice and both mutants exhibited comparable hematoma size and neurological dysfunction. In addition, similar levels of hemoglobin and IgG leakage were detected in the mutant brains compared to the controls, indicating comparable BBB damage. Consistent with this finding, subsequent studies revealed no differences in tight junction protein (TJP) and caveolin-1 expression among control and knockout mice, suggesting that neither paracellular nor transcellular mechanism was affected in the mutants. Furthermore, compared to the controls, both mutant lines showed comparable oligodendrocyte number, oligodendrocyte proliferation rate, MBP/MAG levels, and SMI-32 expression, highlighting a minimal role of OL-derived laminin-α5 in OL biology. Together, these findings highlight a dispensable role of OL-derived laminin-α5 in both brain homeostasis and ICH pathogenesis.
