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
objectiveThis study employed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to characterize the temporal dynamics of neuronal mitochondrial ultrastructural alterations following cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in diabetic rats.
methodsMale Wistar rats were divided into four groups: hyperglycemic, normoglycemic, hyperglycemic cerebral ischemia, and normoglycemic cerebral ischemia. Diabetic rat models were established via streptozotocin (STZ) induction. Cerebral ischemia was induced by bilateral common carotid artery occlusion combined with hypotension for 10 min, followed by reperfusion for 5 h, 1 day, or 7 days. Neurological deficits were evaluated using the Longa scoring criteria, and mitochondrial damage in the cortical region was assessed by TEM. Transmission electron micrographs were analyzed using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, USA).
results(1) Diabetic rats exhibited exacerbated neuronal and mitochondrial damage compared with normoglycemic controls after I/R, with the most severe injury observed at 5 h of reperfusion. (2) Quantitative analysis revealed significantly greater mitochondrial swelling and cristae disruption in the hyperglycemic I/R group at all time points (p < 0.01). (3) Although prolonged reperfusion time correlated with gradual recovery of mitochondrial integrity, this recovery was significantly delayed and incomplete in diabetic rats compared with normoglycemic controls.
conclusions(1) A diabetic cerebral I/R injury model was successfully established using STZ combined with bilateral carotid artery occlusion and hypotension. (2) Diabetes markedly exacerbates and prolongs mitochondrial damage following cerebral I/R. Impaired recovery of mitochondrial ultrastructure represents a critical determinant of stroke prognosis in diabetic patients, providing a well-defined therapeutic target for subsequent fundamental research and intervention strategies.
