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

Naringin is neuroprotective in ischemia and other disease models. However, the effects of naringin are unknown after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The present study explored the role of naringin for neuroprotection in TBI rats. TBI was performed with the weight drop technique, and naringin was given orally at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day. The neurological scores, tissue edema, and oxidative stress/inflammation parameters [malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase, nitric oxide, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), as well as interleukin-1β (IL-1β)] were measured. Compared to sham controls, TBI rats displayed obvious sensorimotor dysfunction, significant brain edema, and elevated oxidative and inflammatory molecules. Although a 7-day pre-treatment of naringin was unable to reverse these pathological changes, a 14-day continual treatment (7 days before and 7 days after the TBI) attenuated the increases in MDA and nitric oxide; enhanced the activation of superoxide dismutase; depressed the over-activation of iNOS; down-regulated the over-expression of IL-1β; and reduced the cortex edema. Additionally, the TBI-induced behavioral dysfunction was reduced. These results suggest that naringin treatment can attenuate cellular and histopathological alterations and improve the sensorimotor dysfunction of TBI rats, which may be partly due to the attenuation of oxidative and inflammatory damages.
