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

The effect of the oral administration of mimosa tannin (MMT) on the rat intra-hippocampal antioxidant ability was examined. Wistar rats at the age of 6 weeks were reared for 8 weeks with the rodent diet (RD) consisting of 0.1 g/kg of MMT (RD-MMT). The antioxidant ability of rat brain was evaluated from the decay of a brain-blood-barrier permeable stable nitroxide, 3-methoxycarbonyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-1-oxyl (PCAM) measured by the microdialysis-electron spin resonance system under a freely moving state. The decay rate of PCAM in the brain of rats fed RD-MMT was significantly larger than that of rats fed control rodent diet, which indicates the increase of the antioxidant ability in the brain of rats fed RD-MMT. In vitro study showed that MMT did not reduce PCAM directly but enhanced the reduction of PCAM by ascorbic acid. These results indicate that MMT is a potent antioxidant in vitro and in vivo.
