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

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the neuroprotective effects of immunoglobulin (Ig) in a neonatal hypoxic ischemic (HI) rat model. Seven-day-old rat pups were randomly assigned to control, hypoxia and hypoxia + Ig groups. The rats in the hypoxia +Ig group were intraperitoneally administered 1 g/kg Ig once, immediately after hypoxia. Saline was administered to the rats in the hypoxia group at the same time point. Eight rats from each of the Ig + hypoxia and hypoxia groups were sacrificed by decapitation 4 and 24 h following the administration of Ig or saline. The rats of the control group were sacrificed at the 4 h time-point. Caspase-3 activity, as well as IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α mRNA expression levels, were studied in the left ischemic hemispheres. Induction of cerebral ischemia increased the TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β mRNA expression levels significantly at 4 and 24 h in the left ischemic hemispheres in the hypoxia group compared with those in the control group. The systemic administration of Ig following HI encephalopathy significantly reduced the TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β mRNA expression levels in the ischemic tissue in the Ig + hypoxia group compared with those in the hypoxia group. In the hypoxia group, caspase-3 activity in the left half of the brain was found to be significantly increased compared with that in the control group. Caspase-3 activity in the Ig + hypoxia group was significantly lower than that in the hypoxia group. The observations of the present study indicate that Ig administration may be an efficient treatment approach for reducing cerebral apoptosis associated with hypoxic ischemia.
