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

Cross-talk between the brain and cervical lymph nodes (CLNs) is crucial in brain pathologies. However, the precise roles and the mechanisms of CLNs in brain damage during subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remain unclear. In this study, mandibular lymph node (part of CLNs) removal attenuates brain damage in SAH mouse models. Notably, the extravasated erythrocytes following SAH are significantly engulfed by lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) in CLNs. Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals that the differentially expressed genes in medullary LECs are enriched in lysosomes after SAH, with a notable upregulation of Ctss (which encodes cathepsin S). Importantly, the deficiency of cathepsin S specifically in LECs, achieved through transgenic mice, or the use of a cathepsin S inhibitor, significantly reduces neuroinflammation and neurological deficits induced by SAH. These findings elucidate mechanisms of how CLNs participate in brain injury following SAH in mice. Targeting this process may offer effective therapeutic strategies to alleviate SAH-related pathologies.
