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

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction represents a critical pathological manifestation in exacerbating ischemic stroke, contributing to neuronal death, edema formation, and unfavorable clinical outcomes. GATA zinc finger domain-containing 1 (GATAD1) is recognized as a critical transcription factor in cardiac development and cardiovascular disease. However, the role of GATAD1 in regulating BBB function and ischemic stroke remains elusive. Here, we found that GATAD1 was upregulated in cerebral endothelial cells (ECs) following ischemic stroke in mice. EC-specific Gatad1 deficiency demonstrated remarkable neuroprotection, manifested by reduced infarct volumes, ameliorated BBB dysfunction, and improved neurological outcomes following experimental stroke. Mechanistic investigations revealed that GATAD1 was involved in regulating CD36 expression, thereby modulating caveolae-mediated transcytosis in cerebral ECs. These findings established GATAD1 as a novel regulator of BBB permeability and a potential therapeutic target for ischemic stroke intervention.
