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

Platelet mitochondrial MAO-A activity of male albino rats (Wistar strain) was significantly inhibited with an inhibition of its only V max during aging. This age-induced inhibition of platelet MAO-A activity became reversed following the application of higher dosages (2.0-2.5 μg/kg/day, i.t. for 21 consecutive days) of carnosine. Though carnosine at lower dosage (0.5 μg/kg/day, i.t. for 21 consecutive days) was ineffective to platelet mitochondrial MAO-A activity in both young and aged rats, at higher dosages (2.0-2.5 μg/kg/day, i.t. for 21 consecutive days) under similar condition this enzyme activity was significantly enhanced. Carnosine at 1.0 μg/kg/day, i.t. for 21 consecutive days significantly enhanced MAO-A activity only in aged (18 and 24 months) rats. These results suggest that carnosine withdraws the aging-induced inhibition of mammalian blood platelet MAO-A activity and restores its activity towards that (MAO-A activity) observed in young mammalian blood platelets.
