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

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-mediated glutamate excitotoxicity significantly contributes to ischemic neuronal death and post-recanalization infarction expansion. Despite tremendous efforts, targeting NMDARs has proven unsuccessful in clinical trials for mitigating brain injury. Here, we show the discovery of an interaction motif for transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) and protein kinase Cγ (PKCγ) association and demonstrate that TRPM2-PKCγ uncoupling is an effective therapeutic strategy for attenuating NMDAR-mediated excitotoxicity in ischemic stroke. We demonstrate that the TRPM2-PKCγ interaction allows TRPM2-mediated Ca
