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.
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
backgroundOur previous studies demonstrated that CCL17 and its receptor CCR4 play crucial roles in neuroinflammation and microglial activation following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, the specific mechanisms by which the CCL17/CCR4 axis regulates microglial polarization and hematoma clearance remain unclear.
aimsThis study investigates how the CCL17/CCR4 signaling pathway modulates microglial phenotype transition and enhances hematoma resolution after ICH, building upon our earlier findings showing CCR4's involvement in neuroinflammatory responses.
methodsUsing CRISPR-mediated CCR4 disruption and CCR4 overexpression approaches in a mouse ICH model, we examined neurological outcomes, inflammatory responses, and hematoma volumes. We further evaluated the therapeutic potential of recombinant CCL17 administration. The downstream ERK signaling pathway's role in CCL17/CCR4-mediated microglial function was investigated through pharmacological inhibition.
resultsCCR4 knockout exacerbated neurological deficits, increased neuroinflammation, and enlarged hematomas. In contrast, enhancing CCR4 expression or administering recombinant CCL17 improved functional recovery and provided neuroprotection. Mechanistically, CCL17/CCR4 signaling activated the ERK/AP1/SRA pathway, promoting anti-inflammatory, phagocytic microglial polarization, evidenced by increased CD206 and SRA expression. ERK inhibition reversed these protective effects.
conclusionOur findings extend previous work by revealing that the CCL17/CCR4 axis enhances hematoma clearance through the ERK/AP1/SRA pathway-mediated microglial polarization. This mechanism represents a promising therapeutic target for ICH treatment.
