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

contextAngiogenesis is one of the essential protective mechanisms that promote neural repair and regeneration after ischemic stroke (IS). Salvianolic Acid B (SAB) and Benzoyl paeoniflorin (BP) are compounds extracted from the Chinese medicines

objectiveWe investigated whether SAB combined with BP alleviated IS by promoting micrangium angiogenesis and determined the potential molecular mechanisms. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe impact of SAB-BP on angiogenesis after IS was investigated in middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rat model, ponatinib-induced ischemic stroke in zebrafish, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The neuroprotective effect of SAB-BP in rats was assessed using behavior tests and histopathological staining. The cerebral thrombosis assessment and angiogenesis assay were performed in the zebrafish model. Cell proliferation and angiogenesis in oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) HUVECs were assessed through cell viability, tube formation, migration, and invasion assays. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining were used to determine the protein expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1, and VEGFA.

resultsThe findings indicated that SAB-BP significantly reduced neurological impairment following IS and promoted the formation of functional vessels in the cerebral ischemic penumbra. Furthermore, SAB-BP up-regulated the protein expression of Nrf2, HO-1, HIF-1α, and VEGFA. Intriguingly, the pro-angiogenic effect of SAB-BP markedly restrained by adding the inhibitor of Nrf2 (ML385). DISCUSSION AND

conclusionOur study demonstrates that SAB-BP enhances angiogenesis following IS by modulating the Nrf2/HO-1/VEGFA signaling axis both
