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

Aging, a multifactorial process of enormous complexity is characterised by physio-chemical and biological aspects of cellular functions. It is closely associated with changes in metabolism of various biological molecules in the system. In the present study, we have investigated the effect of deprenyl on cerebellum during ageing process in male Wistar rats with respect to the changes in levels of protein, glycoproteins and amino acids in experimental rats of three age groups (6, 12 and 18 months old). Intraperitoneal administration of liquid deprenyl (2 mg/kg body weight/day for a period of 15 days i.p., significantly P < 0.05) attenuated age-associated alterations in the levels of amino acids (taurine, aspartate, glutamate, arginine, hydroxy proline and homocysteine), protein content and glycoprotein components (hexose and hexosamine) in the rat cerebellum. The results of the present investigation indicate that the protective effect of deprenyl is probably related to its ability to strengthen the neuronal membrane by its membrane stabilizing action or to a counteraction of free radicals by its antioxidant property.
