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

Stroke is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. It is characterized by a highly interconnected and multiphasic neuropathological cascade of events, in which an intense and protracted inflammatory response plays a crucial role in worsening brain injury. Neuroinflammation, a key player in the pathophysiology of stroke, has a dual role. In the acute phase of stroke, neuroinflammation exacerbates brain injury, contributing to neuronal damage and blood-brain barrier disruption. This aspect of neuroinflammation is associated with poor neurological outcomes. Conversely, in the recovery phase following stroke, neuroinflammation facilitates brain repair processes, including neurogenesis, angiogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. The transition of neuroinflammation from a harmful to a reparative role is not well understood. Therefore, this review seeks to explore the mechanisms underlying this transition, with the goal of informing the development of therapeutic interventions that are both time- and context-specific. This review aims to elucidate the complex and dual role of neuroinflammation in stroke, highlighting the main actors, biomarkers of the disease, and potential therapeutic approaches.
