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

backgroundBuyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHWD), a traditional Chinese medicine formula, has been shown to exert a variety of pharmacological effects including neuroprotective properties. However, the mechanism of neuroprotection is not fully understood. This study was designed to explore the mechanism of BYHWD in the treatment of spinal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

methodsTwenty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighting 250-280 g, were used, and were randomly divided into four groups with 7 animals in each: sham operation group (Control), spinal ischemia with saline (SI + Saline), spinal ischemia with BYHWD (SI + BYHWD), and spinal ischemia with roscovitine (SI + R). After 60 minutes of spinal ischemia followed by 72 hours of reperfusion, motor function of hind limbs, spinal ischemic infarction volume, the number of apoptotic cells, and cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) were examined.

resultIschemia-reperfusion resulted in injury of the spines, while BYHWD significantly improved spinal function. The spinal infarction volume, number of apoptotic cells, and Cdk5 were decreased by administration of BYHWD. The similar improvements were seen with the pre-treatment of roscovitine.

conclusionsBYHWD prevented the ischemia-reperfusion-induced spinal injury in rats. The protective function of BYHWD was, in part, linked with inhibition of Cdk5.
