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

Vasogenic cerebral edema is a severe complication of delayed thrombolysis for ischemic stroke, for which no pharmacological treatment exists. Anisodine hydrobromide (Ani), an alkaloid used clinically in China for vascular disorders, is investigated for its potential to mitigate this condition. Here we show that Ani treatment improves survival and neurological function in a mouse model of delayed rtPA-induced cerebral edema by preserving the integrity of the blood-brain barrier. Utilizing proteomics and microarray screening, we identify megakaryocyte-associated tyrosine kinase (Matk) as a direct target of Ani. We demonstrate that Ani binding stabilizes Matk, preventing its degradation and suppressing the activation of Src kinase. This inhibition consequently blocks the dual paracellular and transcellular leakage pathways that drive vasogenic edema. Our findings reveal the Matk-Src signaling axis as a therapeutic target and support Ani as a promising clinical candidate for preventing post-thrombolytic complications in stroke management.
