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

This study aims to investigate the changes of microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP-2) in epileptic dentate gyrus and significance in epilepsy. Alterations in MAP-2 immunoreactivity (MAP2-IR) in kindling model of epilepsy were investigated in rats with survival times ranging from 3 to 30 days. Nissl staining and electron microscopic studies were used to explore more deeply. Electron microscopic was employed to detect tubulin formation and assembly. Immunohistochemical assay was used to examine co-localization of tubulin and MMP-2. Results indicated that MAP2-IR obviously enhanced in dendrites of granule cells 3 days after kindling and remained enhanced up to 14 days (P < 0.01). It returned to control patterns 20 to 30 days after kindling (P < 0.01). Nissl staining demonstrated a negative correlation between enhancement of MAP-2 and degeneration of hilar neurons (r = -0.9274). Electron microscopic studies showed that microtubules of dendrite in dentate molecular increased 3 days after kindling and obviously increased 14 days after kindling (P < 0.05). Tubulin protein showed a well co-localization with MMP-2 protein. Treatment of paclitaxel significantly decreased tubulin formation and assembly compared with untreated group (P < 0.01). Sprouting of dentate granule cell axons and synaptic contacts between nerve terminal and dendrite were discovered. Overexpression of MAP-2 via formation of microtubules plays an important role in the sprouting of mossy fibers in epileptic rats.
