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
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the shared molecular mechanisms underlying cardioembolic stroke (CS) and ischemic stroke (IS) using integrated bioinformatics analysis. Methods: Microarray datasets for the CS (GSE58294, blood samples from CS and controls) and IS (GSE16561, blood from IS and controls; GSE22255, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from IS and matched controls) were acquired from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differential expression analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis were utilized to identify shared genes between the two diseases. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and topology analyses were conducted to identify the core shared genes. Three machine learning algorithms were employed to detect biomarkers from the core shared genes, and the diagnostic value of the hub genes was evaluated by establishing a predictive nomogram. Immune infiltration was evaluated using single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA), and pathways were analyzed with gene set enrichment analysis. Results: There were 125 shared up-regulated genes and 2 shared down-regulated between CS and IS, which were mainly involved in immune inflammatory response-related biological functions. The Maximum Clique Centrality algorithm identified 25 core shared genes in the PPI network constructed using the shared genes. ABCA1, CLEC4E, and IRS2 were identified as biomarkers for both CS and IS and performed well in predicting the onset risk of CS and IS. All three biomarkers were highly expressed in both CS and IS compared to their corresponding controls. These biomarkers significantly correlated with neutrophil infiltration and autophagy activation in both CS and IS. Particularly, all three biomarkers were associated with the activation of neutrophil extracellular trap formation, but only in the IS. Conclusion: ABCA1, CLEC4E, and IRS2 were identified as potential key biomarkers and therapeutic targets for CS and IS. Autophagy and neutrophil infiltration may represent the common mechanisms linking these two diseases.
