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

Cognitive dysfunction occurs in patients with diabetes mellitus. The objective of this study was to examine whether bilateral intrahippocampal CA1 (intra-CA1) injection of aminoguanidine (AG) can either affect the Bcl-2 family gene expression or reduce the diabetic imposing abnormalities of passive avoidance learning (PAL) and memory. Rats were divided into five groups: control (C), control treated with normal saline (CS), control treated with AG (S-AG), diabetics (D), and diabetics treated with AG (D-AG). Diabetes mellitus was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) (50 mg/kg). AG (30 μg/rat) or vehicle was administered intra-CA1 bilaterally at the onset of hyperglycemia. PAL was assessed 7 weeks later. Animals were killed, and hippocampus was dissected following the behavioral test. The expressions of Bax, Bcl-2, and Bcl-xl mRNAs were measured using semiquantitative RT-PCR technique. The result of passive avoidance task showed that AG significantly improved the cognitive performance in diabetic rats. Moreover, AG treatment decreased the levels of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL expressions in diabetic group. The ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 and Bax/Bcl-xL decreased significantly in AG-treated diabetic animals. In conclusion, initial treatment with AG by intra-CA1 micro-injection improves the impaired passive avoidance task in STZ-induced diabetic rats which may be related to the decreased Bax/Bcl-2 and Bax/Bcl-xL ratios.
