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

Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a common type of refractory cerebrovascular diseases. Inflammatory responses have been reported to be associated with the pathogenesis of IA. We aimed to study the role of STAT3 on IA formation and inflammatory response. STAT3 expression and clinicopathological factors were analyzed in IA and normal cerebral arteries. mRNA level of STAT3 was detected in normal, unruptured, and ruptured IA tissues by RT-PCR and Western blot. Inflammatory cytokines were examined by ELISA in unruptured, ruptured IA tissues, as well as cells with STAT3 overexpression or knockdown. mRNA of phenotypic modulation-related factors was tested by RT-PCR in STAT3 overexpressing or knockdown VSMCs. STAT3 expression was upregulated in ruptured IA tissues and highly associated with IA diameter and IA type. Inflammatory cytokine secretion was increased in ruptured IA samples and positively correlated with STAT3 expression. STAT3 overexpression led to enhanced expression of SM-α actin, SM-MHC, MMP2, and MMP9, and increased secretion of inflammatory cytokines. Our findings have demonstrated that STAT3 is a key regulator in IA formation by modulating inflammatory cytokine expression.
