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

Brain pathologies such as ischemic stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI) are among the most impactful diseases worldwide. In ischemic stroke, we currently lack truly effective treatments capable of delaying infarct progression, limiting lesion size or stimulating endogenous brain repair mechanisms to promote neurovascular remodeling and functional recovery. Two main barriers continue to limit the clinical translation of therapeutic molecules: the highly restrictive nature of the blood-brain barrier and that many bioactive molecules exhibit low stability at the target site, with half-lives shorter than the therapeutic window. In this study, we developed tunable silk fibroin (SF) films of variable concentration, fabricated via water annealing, that effectively preserve the functional activity of the chemokine CXCL12 (SDF-1α). The 2% SF formulation provided sustained release of SDF-1α for at least 7 days, promoting the
