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

Background: Ischemic stroke leads to severe cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, resulting in neuronal death and neurological deficits. The N Methods: A transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was established in adult male C57BL/6J mice. METTL16 was knocked down via intracerebroventricular injection of shRNA-expressing lentivirus at 6 hours post-reperfusion. Cerebral infarct volume (TTC staining), neurological function (mNSS, adhesive removal, corner-turning, and rotarod tests), histopathology (H&E, TUNEL, Nissl, NeuN), and apoptosis-related protein expression were evaluated. Primary cortical neurons and astrocytes were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). Cell apoptosis, LDH release, inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β), and synaptic protein (Synapsin-1, PSD-95) expression were assessed. The METTL16-TIPARP interaction and m Results: METTL16 knockdown significantly reduced infarct volume, attenuated neuronal apoptosis and inflammation, and improved sensorimotor and coordination functions after MCAO. In vitro, METTL16 depletion protected neurons and astrocytes from OGD-induced apoptosis, cytokine release, and synaptic damage. Mechanistically, METTL16 directly bound to TIPARP mRNA and enhanced its m Conclusion: METTL16 promotes cerebral I/R injury by stabilizing TIPARP mRNA via m
