Effects of combination therapy with levamlodipine and bisoprolol on stroke in rats.
Article in CNS neuroscience & therapeutics, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
aimTo examine the effects of combination with levamlodipine and bisoprolol on stroke in rats.
methodsFor acute study, Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and heart period (HP) were monitored in conscious stroke prone-spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR-SP) and sinoaortic denervation (SAD) rats before and after intragastric administration of either drug at a single dose. Rats were subjected to middle cerebral arterial occlusion (MCAO) half an hour after drug administration; sacrificed 24 h later to measure the infarct size. For long-term study, drugs (either alone or in combination) were delivered via food to SHR-SP. The survival time was recorded.
resultsSBP was significantly reduced by combination therapy both in SHR-SP and SAD rats. Neutralization on heart rate (HR) was observed in combination. The drug combination increased baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and reduced SBP variability (SBPV). In chronic experiments, the lifespan of SHR-SP rats exposed to the drug combination was longer than that in rats exposed to either drug alone. The infarct area was the smallest in subjects receiving drug combination in SD rats both with and without SAD.
conclusionCombined use of levamlodipine and bisoprolol produced better protection against stroke.
