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

Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, yet its pathophysiological mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed the coagulation function in 60 patients with acute ischemic stroke and found that their blood was in a hypercoagulable state. We confirmed this hematological change using a middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/r) mouse model and improved the hypercoagulable state with the synthetic peptide Arg-Gly-Asp-Cys (RGDC), which inhibits platelet aggregation and fibrinogen binding. Interestingly, in MCAO/r mice, RGDC treatment led to enhanced neurological function, reduced blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, and alleviated neuroinflammation. Further analysis revealed that fibrin, the end product of coagulation, binds to ITGB2 on primary microglia and activates the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, influencing microglial polarization. These results establish a novel link between the hypercoagulable state and microglial function, offering a promising therapeutic approach to reduce neuroinflammation, improve neurological function and enhance outcomes in ischemic stroke by targeting coagulation pathways.
