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

This study investigates the role and underlying mechanisms of total flavones of Rhododendron (TFR) in blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption following transient bilateral common carotid artery occlusion-induced cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), focusing on whether A2 astrocyte polarization mediates the protective effects of TFR. RNA sequencing analysis was performed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the differential effects of A1 and A2 astrocytes on endothelial function. TFR treatment significantly reduced Evans blue (EB) extravasation and attenuated the downregulation of claudin-5, ZO-1, occludin, and CD31 in mouse hippocampal tissues. Furthermore, TFR enhanced the production and release of cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS)-derived H
