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.
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 and Purpose: High-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is a useful biomarker for disease severity stratification and prognosis prediction. We aim to explore whether the circulating HMGB1 concentrations are associated with the white matter lesions (WMLs) burden in stroke patients. Methods: Between 2022 June and December 2022, patients with acute ischemic stroke were prospectively enrolled. HMGB1 levels were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay after admission for all patients. The WMLs severity was assessed by the Fazekas scale. We dichotomized patients into those with moderate-severe WMLs (Fazekas score 3-6) versus those with none-mild WMLs (Fazekas score 0-2). Furthermore, based on the severity of periventricular WMLs (PWMLs) and deep WMLs (DWMLs), patients were categorized as none-mild (Fazekas score 0-1) or moderate-severe (Fazekas score 2-3). Results: A total of 287 participants (mean age: 64.9 years; 157 male) were analyzed. The median serum HMGB1 levels were 7.3 ng/mL (interquartile, 4.3 ng/mL-12.3 ng/mL). After adjustment for potential confounders, elevated HMGB1 levels were associated with the presence of moderate-severe WMLs (first quartile vs fourth quartile, odds ratio [OR], 4.101; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.948-8.633; Conclusion: This study demonstrated that increased HMGB1 levels were associated with the severity of WMLs, mainly in the periventricular region.
