Inflammation-The new treatment target for ischaemic stroke prevention.
Review in Frontiers in stroke, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Recurrent vascular events after stroke are common despite contemporary therapies and there is an unmet clinical need for improved secondary prevention. Inflammation is a probable causal factor in first and recurrent stroke and is a promising therapeutic target. Blood biomarkers of inflammation may also improve risk stratification and patient selection for intensive prevention therapies. We review the pathogenic role of inflammation in stroke and atherosclerosis, examining data from observational and genetic studies as well as randomized controlled trials of anti-inflammatory agents in stroke and cardiac disease. We discuss the potential applications for inflammatory biomarkers in stroke care and evaluate some of the uncertainties and controversies in this field.
