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

The present study aimed to elucidate sPLA(2) activity in the normal and kainate-lesioned hippocampus using selective inhibitors of sPLA(2). In normal rats the highest levels of sPLA(2) were observed in the hippocampus, pons, and medulla, followed by the cerebral neocortex and caudate nucleus. After intracerebroventricular kainate injections an increase in total PLA(2) activity was observed in the rat hippocampus. Using a selective sPLA(2) inhibitor 12-epi-scalaradial, sPLA(2) activity was found to be significantly increased by 2.5-fold on the side of the intracerebroventricular injection compared to the contralateral side. A peptide P-NT.II, derived from the amino acid sequence of "PLA(2)-inhibitory protein," discovered in the serum of the reticulated python, also showed potent sPLA(2) inhibitory activity in homogenates from the kainate-injected hippocampus. These results show that there is a high level of sPLA(2) activity in the normal hippocampus, pons, and medulla oblongata, and that the level increases further in the hippocampus after kainate-induced excitotoxic injury. The increased PLA(2) activity was inhibited by P-NT.II, indicating a potential use of this peptide as a PLA(2) inhibitory agent in the brain.
