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

Brain injury is the leading cause of death and disability in survivors of cardiac arrest, where neuroinflammation triggered by infiltrating macrophages plays a pivotal role. Here, we seek to elucidate the origin of macrophages infiltrating the brain and their mechanism of action after cardiac arrest/cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CA/CPR). Wild-type or photoconvertible Cd68-Cre:R26-LSL-KikGR mice were subjected to 10-min CA/CPR, and the migration of gut-derived macrophages into brain was assessed. Transcriptome sequencing was performed to identify the key proinflammatory signal of macrophages infiltrating the brain, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM1). Upon drug intervention, the effects of TREM1 on post-CA/CPR brain injury were further evaluated. 16S rRNA sequencing was used to detect gut dysbiosis after CA/CPR. Through photoconversion experiments, we found that small intestine-derived macrophages infiltrated the brain and played a crucial role in triggering secondary brain injury after CA/CPR. The infiltrating peripheral macrophages showed upregulated TREM1 levels, and we further revealed the crucial role of gut-derived TREM1
