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: Cerebral ischaemia/reperfusion (CI/R) damage involves obstructing the blood supply to the brain, followed by restoring cerebral circulation through thrombolytic treatment. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a specialised structure separating the brain from peripheral blood circulation and plays an important role in brain function. However, little is known about CI/R-induced BBB damage and changes in circulatory biomarkers. Methods and results: This novel study aims to examine the changes in BBB tight-junctional (TJ) proteins (Zonula occludens-1, Occludin and Claudin-5) in the hippocampus of the brain and determine the levels of these proteins in a mouse model of CI/R induced by bilateral common carotid occlusion. Expressions of BBB TJ proteins in the hippocampus were examined by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. The levels of these proteins in blood serum were measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay. Conclusion: The results showed a significant decrease in BBB TJ proteins in the hippocampus, with increased levels of these proteins in blood serum in ischaemic mice as compared to sham-operated mice suggesting that these proteins can be used as potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of CI/R injury.
