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

Increasing evidence suggests a role for cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in traumatic brain injury (TBI). In the present study, the role of COX-2 in TBI was investigated using COX-2 gene-disrupted (COX-2 null) mice and wild-type (WT) controls that were subjected to the controlled cortical impact (CCI) model of TBI. There was increased expression of COX-2 in ipsilateral hippocampus in WT mice subjected to CCI. CCI resulted in a significant increase in prostaglandin E(2) concentrations in WT compared with COX-2 null hippocampi. There was a significant increase in TUNEL staining of CA1 neurons 24 hr after CCI in WT, but not in COX-2 null mice, compared with sham-operated controls, which is consistent with a protective role for COX-2 in the early phase of injury after TBI. However, there was no difference in lesion volume 21 days after CCI in COX-2 null and WT mice. COX-2 gene disruption did not alter Morris water maze performance. Taken together, these results suggest only a minor role for COX-2 activity in determining outcome after TBI in mouse.
