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

Cerebral malaria (CM) is the most severe complication of Plasmodium falciparum in humans and major cause of death. SP600125 is a specific, small molecule inhibitor of JNK that prevents the phosphorylation of c-Jun and blocks the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and attenuates neuronal apoptosis in several neurodegenerative disorders. We evaluated the effect of SP600125 treatment on the survival of Plasmodium berghei ANKA (PbA)-infected C57BL/6J mice. Administration of SP600125 improved survival in PbA-infected C57BL6J mice but has no effect on parasitemia. Further, SP600125 administration resulted in attenuation of neuronal cell death along with inhibition of proinflammatory mediators TNF-α and COX-2 and proapoptotic mediators p-c-Jun and active caspase 3 in PbA-infected mice. The promising findings of this study make SP600125 a potential agent for supportive therapy to alleviate inflammation and neuronal cell death associated with CM.
