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

backgroundCommunication between the vascular endothelium and peripheral leukocytes is an important process controlling inflammatory responses in the brain. Increased plasma levels of CTSD (cathepsin D) have been associated with vascular events, but whether circulating CTSD may affect the functional status of the endothelium remains unknown.

methodsTo resolve this issue, two groups of transgenic hCTSD

resultsWe found the hCTSD

conclusionsTaken together, these results demonstrate that circulating prototype CTSD exacerbates the injury-induced brain damage by upregulating brain endothelial VCAM-1 and promoting neutrophil transmigration into the brain.
