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

backgroundIntracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe stroke subtype associated with high mortality and long-term disability, for which no effective treatment currently exists. Vinorine (Vin), a monoterpene indole alkaloid derived from Rauvolfia reflexa, has been traditionally used for age-related neurological disorders, yet its therapeutic potential and mechanisms in ICH remain unclear.

methodsAn ICH mouse model was established via intracranial collagenase injection. Vin was administered intraperitoneally at varying doses, and its effects on motor function, sensory deficits, and neural regeneration were evaluated. Network pharmacology was employed to predict potential targets and pathways, followed by validation through molecular docking, in vivo experiments, and in vitro assays.

resultsNetwork pharmacology identified four core targets and 35 related pathways, with JAK2 as a central node. In vivo, Vin significantly improved motor deficits, reduced cerebral edema, preserved blood-brain barrier integrity, and promoted hematoma resolution. These effects were mediated through modulation of the CXCR2-JAK-STAT axis and suppression of JAK2 phosphorylation. In vitro, Vin inhibited JAK-STAT activation in microglia, downregulated MMP expression, and facilitated the transition from M1 to M2 phenotypic polarization. Additionally, Vin enhanced the expression of neuronal markers (NF200, PSD95, GAP43) and reduced neuronal apoptosis.

conclusionVin attenuates neurological deficits after ICH likely by inhibiting MMP expression in microglia via regulation of the CXCR2-JAK-STAT pathway. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of Vin and provide mechanistic support for its further development as a treatment for ICH.
