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

Perihematomal edema (PHE) significantly aggravates secondary brain injury in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), yet its detailed mechanisms remain elusive. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are known to exacerbate neurological deficits and worsen outcomes after stroke. This study explores the potential role of NETs in the pathogenesis of brain edema following ICH. The rat ICH model was created, immunofluorescence and Western blot were used to examine neutrophil accumulation, NET markers citrullinated histone H3 (CitH3) and myeloperoxidase (MPO), tight junction proteins (ZO-1 and Occludin), Aquaporin-4 (AQP4), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and ERK phosphorylation (p-ERK) in brain tissues surrounding the hematoma. TUNEL staining and behavioral tests were employed to evaluate neuronal apoptosis and neurological dysfunction, while blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and brain edema were also measured by Evans blue and brain water content. Furthermore, the molecular mechanisms related to NETs-induced PHE were investigated using NETs, ERK, MMP-9 and AQP4 regulators, respectively. Ly6G
