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

Immune checkpoint regulators can improve neurological functions in Alzheimer's disease. However, it remains blurred whether these regulators may ameliorate temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and TLE-related cognitive impairment. This study analyzed the bulk transcriptomic data of human TLE hippocampi by bioinformatics. The expression of the potential immune checkpoint regulators in the hippocampus was assessed by immunohistochemical staining; the preoperative seizure severity and postoperative cognitive function were evaluated by the National Hospital Seizure Severity Scale (NHS3) and Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status-Modified (TICS-m); the correlation between the target immune checkpoint regulators and TLE-related cognitive impairment was examined by simple linear regression models and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). We first identified glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor ligand (GITRL) as a key immune checkpoint regulator in TLE patients, with an increased intensity of GITRL in epileptic hippocampus (n = 21) compared with that of the control (n = 3). The GITRL intensity was positively correlated with NHS3 score (r
