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

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative movement disorder due to selective loss of dopaminergic neurons of mesencephalic substantia nigra pars compacta (SNC) with debilitating motor symptoms. Current treatments for PD afford symptomatic relief with no prevention of disease progression. Due to the antioxidant and neuroprotective potential of sinapic acid, this study was conducted to evaluate whether this agent could be of benefit in an experimental model of early PD in rat. Unilateral intrastriatal 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-lesioned rats were pretreated p.o. with sinapic acid at doses of 10 or 20 mg/kg. One week after surgery, apomorphine caused significant contralateral rotations, a significant reduction in the number of Nissl-stained and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons and a significant increase of iron reactivity on the left side of SNC. Meanwhile, malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitrite levels in midbrain homogenate significantly increased and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) significantly reduced in the 6-OHDA-lesioned group. In addition, sinapic acid at a dose of 20 mg/kg significantly improved turning behavior, prevented loss of SNC dopaminergic neurons, lowered iron reactivity, and attenuated level of MDA and nitrite. These results indicate the neuroprotective potential of sinapic acid against 6-OHDA neurotoxicity that is partially due to the attenuation of oxidative stress and possibly lowering nigral iron level.
