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

Recently, a potential neuroprotective effect of rimonabant, independent of the CB1 receptor interaction, has been proposed. In the present study, the role of transient receptor potential channel vanilloid subfamily member 1, named VR1, on neuroprotective effect of rimonabant, on global cerebral ischemia in gerbils, was investigated. Rimonabant (0.05-3 mg kg-1), given i.p. 5 min after recirculation, dose dependently antagonized the ischemia-induced decrease in electroencephalographic (EEG) total spectral power and restored relative frequency band distribution 7 days after ischemia. Rimonabant (0.125-0.5 mg kg-1) fully prevented ischemia-induced hyperlocomotion 1 day after ischemia and memory impairment evaluated in a passive avoidance task, 3 days after ischemia. At 7 days after ischemia, the survival of pyramidal cells, in the CA1 subfield, was respectively 91 and 96%, in the animals given rimonabant 0.25 and 0.5 mg kg-1, compared to the vehicle group. Higher doses were not protective. The protection induced by rimonabant followed a bell-shaped curve, the maximal active doses being 0.25 and 0.5 mg kg-1. Capsazepine (0.01 mg kg-1), a selective VR1 vanilloid receptor antagonist, completely reversed rimonabant-induced neuroprotective effects against EEG flattening, memory impairment and CA1 hippocampal neuronal loss. These findings suggest that VR1 vanilloid receptors are involved in rimonabant's neuroprotection even if other mechanisms can contribute to this effect.
