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

Therapeutic hypothermia by exogenous cooling induces potent neuroprotection. Post-stroke, therapeutic hypothermia so far did not translate into clinically applicable therapies due to hypothermia-associated side-effects compromising patient outcome. The hypothalamus contains two major thermoregulatory centers in the ventrolateral preoptic area (vlPOA) and dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH), which are connected via gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic fibers. Using chemogenetic and optogenetic approaches, we explored the role of this GABAergic projection in regulating body temperature responses, cerebral blood flow, and ischemic injury in Vgat-cre mice exposed to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo). Using a chemogenetic approach, we show that the inhibition of a set of GABAergic DMH
