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
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic potential of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)-related genes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) through comprehensive bioinformatics analysis. Methods: Two GEO datasets (GSE37587 and GSE16561) were integrated to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between AIS patients and healthy controls. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed to explore functional pathways, while single-sample GSEA (ssGSEA) was used to evaluate immune cell infiltration patterns. NETs-related DEGs (NDEGs) were identified by intersecting the DEGs with previously reported NETS-related genes. Functional enrichment of NDEGs was performed using Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses. Key genes were identified via machine learning algorithms, including least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and random forest (RF). A diagnostic model was constructed based on the identified hub genes and validated using an independent dataset (GSE58294). Potential regulatory miRNAs and candidate therapeutic compounds were predicted using the TargetScan and DSigDB databases, respectively. Results: The discovery dataset included 73 AIS patients and 24 healthy controls, revealed 551 DEGs (225 upregulated, 326 downregulated). The analysis of ssGSEA revealed notable immune dysregulation in AIS patients, characterized by increased neutrophil infiltration and decreased level of Th17, Th1, and TFH cells. GSEA indicated that DEGs were enriched in neutrophil degranulation and innate immune system. NDEGs were significantly enriched in immune regulation and leukocyte apoptosis (GO) and NETs formation pathway (KEGG). Four hub genes- Conclusion: To our knowledge, this represents the first comprehensive investigation of NETs-related gene signatures in AIS patients compared with healthy controls. These findings deepen our understanding of immune cell infiltration and the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in stroke, offering novel insights that may enhance diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic strategies for AIS.
