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

Brain lipid metabolism was studied in rats following permanent bilateral common carotid artery ligation (BCCL), a model for chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. Unesterified (free) fatty acids (uFA) and acyl-CoA concentrations were measured 6 h, 24 h, and 7 days after BCCL or sham surgery, in high energy-microwaved brain. In BCCL compared to sham rats, cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) immunoreactivity in piriform cortex, and concentrations of total uFA and arachidonoyl-CoA, an intermediate for arachidonic acid reincorporation into phospholipids, were increased only at 6 h. At 24 h, immunoreactivity for secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)), which may regulate blood flow, was increased near cortical and hippocampal blood vessels. BCCL did not affect levels of brain IB(4)+ microglia, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)+ astrocytes, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) immunoreactivity at any time, but increased cPLA(2) immunoreactivity in one region at 6 h. Thus, BCCL affected brain lipid metabolism transiently, likely because of compensatory sPLA(2)-mediated vasodilation, without producing evidence of neuroinflammation.
