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

Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a devasting complication following acute ischemic stroke with high morbidity and mortality. The pathogenesis of HT mainly involves ischemia‑reperfusion‑induced oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, thrombolytic therapy‑associated toxicity and, most critically, blood‑brain barrier (BBB) disruption. Matrix metalloproteinase‑9 (MMP‑9) serves as a critical mediator of HT through degrading extracellular matrix components and disrupting tight junction proteins, thereby compromising BBB integrity. Thus, elaborating the underlying molecular mechanisms of MMP‑9 in destroying BBB and promoting HT is essential to improve the outcome of ischemic stroke patients. Furthermore, to provide beneficial insights for the treatment of ischemic stroke, precise understanding of the potential role of MMP‑9 as a biomarker and treatment target to predict and ameliorate the risk of HT is also necessary.
