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

Our previous study showed that perinatal exposure to interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), an inflammatory cytokine, induces acute injury to developing white matter in the neonatal rat brain, and alpha-phenyl-n-tert-butyl-nitrone (PBN), a free radical scavenger and antioxidant, protects against IL-1beta-induced acute brain injury. The objective of the present study was to further examine whether perinatal exposure to IL-1beta resulted in persistent brain damage and neurological disabilities, and whether PBN offers lasting protection. Intracerebral injection of IL-1beta (1 microg/kg) was performed in postnatal day 5 (P5) Sprague-Dawley rat pups and PBN (100 mg/kg) or saline was administered intraperitoneally 5 min after IL-1beta injection. Perinatal IL-1beta exposure significantly affected neurobehavioral functions in juvenile rats. Although some neurobehavioral deficits such as performance in negative geotaxis, cliff avoidance, beam walking, and locomotion were spontaneously reversible, sustained deficits such as poor performance in the vibrissa-elicited forelimb-placing test, the pole test, the passive avoidance task, and the elevated plus-maze task were still observable at P21. Perinatal IL-1beta exposure resulted in persistent brain damage including enlargement of ventricles, loss of mature oligodendrocytes, impaired myelination as indicated by the decrease in myelin basic protein immunostaining, axonal and dendritic injury, and loss of hippocampal CA1 neurons and tyrosine hydroxylase positive neurons in the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental areas of the rat brain. Treatments with PBN provided lasting protection against the IL-1beta-induced brain injury and improved the associated neurological dysfunctions in juvenile rats, suggesting that prompt treatments for brain injury induced by perinatal infection/inflammation might have important long-term consequences.
