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

In human, decompressive craniectomy (DC) reduces morbi-mortality of malignant stroke. Because the cranial vault carries hematopoietic niches hosting inflammatory cells, we used here a preclinical model of stroke and DC in mice to evaluate whether the removal of the cranial vault may influence neuroinflammation after malignant stroke. 99 C57/BL6 mice were used, and stroke was induced using a filament model. Mice were randomized in 4 groups: Sham (n = 15), Stroke (n = 40), DC (n = 18) and Stroke + DC (n = 26). The inflammatory response was evaluated at D1 and D5 by using both non-invasive molecular MRI of VCAM-1 signal void and flow cytometry analyses of a large set of immune cells. Molecular MRI of VCAM-1 revealed a massive endothelial inflammatory status after stroke, a process reduced by DC at day 1 and day 5. We also revealed that DC reduced levels of border-associated macrophages (BAMs) induced by stroke in the ipsilateral hemisphere, which was associated with an increase of BAMs in the contralateral hemisphere. Effect on inflammatory processes in the contralateral hemisphere was also confirmed by a decrease of parenchymal T-cells (CD3+) in the DC group as compared to the Stroke group. DC reduces post-stroke cerebral inflammation, as shown by molecular MRI, and may modulate BAM and parenchymal T-cell distribution.
