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

Clear elucidation of the connection between chemical structure and biological action mechanisms is the key issue preventing the successful development of nanomedicines. Herein, employing essential trace element selenium (Se) as an example, we fabricate organic-inorganic covalent Se hybrid by anchoring Se atom to polyethylene glycol chain during carbonization to form organic Se-C and inorganic Se-Se bonds in one system to integrate the advantages of both species. The weak covalent Se-Se bond breaks down in response to redox stimuli, thus releases organic Se with stronger electron transfer ability to scavenge free radicals, and forms highly active inorganic Se, which further releases free Se atom to trigger selenoprotein synthesis and activation, ultimately reverses reperfusion injury in male-mice ischemic stroke, and improves neurological restoration. This work provides a unique Se atom reprogramming strategy to design highly bioactive hybrid Se species with clear chemical nature and action mechanisms.
