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

7,8-dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF) is a recently identified potent agonist of tropomyosin-related kinase B that can cross the blood-brain barrier after oral or intraperitoneal administration. The aim of the present study was to determine whether 7,8-DHF has neuroprotective effects against cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury and, if so, to investigate the possible underlying mechanisms. Cerebral I/R injury rats were induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion for 90 min followed by reperfusion for 24 h. 7,8-DHF was administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 5 mg/kg immediately after ischemia. Our results showed that 7,8-DHF significantly reduced neurological deficit scores, infarct volumes, and neuronal apoptosis in brains of I/R rats. Meanwhile, 7,8-DHF also increased Bcl-2 expression, decreased expression of cleaved caspase-3, Bax and inducible nitric oxide synthase, and inhibited nuclear factor-κB activation in ischemic cortex. Finally, malondialdehyde and nitric oxide contents were reduced, but activities of glutathione, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase were restored in ischemic cortex treated with 7,8-DHF. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that 7,8-DHF is able to protect against cerebral I/R injury, which may be, at least in part, attributable to its anti-apoptotic, anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory actions.
