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

Ischemic stroke has been confirmed to cause neuronal injury due to its insufficient supply of glucose and oxygen to brain tissue. Previous research has shown that oxidative stress, a result of excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), relates to pathophysiology of ischemic stroke, and causes oxidative damage to biomolecules, eventually leading to programmed cell death. Meanwhile, apigenin has been shown to exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer properties and neuroprotective action. Hence, this study was to investigate the potential mechanisms underlying the neural protection of apigenin on oxygen and glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) induced neuronal injury in differentiated PC12 cells. Cells were pretreated with apigenin for 6 h, and then subjected to OGD for 12 h followed by reperfusion for 24 h. The results showed that OGD/R significantly decreased cell viability, mitochondrial membrane potential, mRNA levels of antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes and Nrf2 protein expression, while elevated the release of LDH, cell apoptosis, intracellular ROS level, P53 protein expression and upregulated its downstream genes in PC12 cells. However, apigenin effectively inhibited these undesirable changes induced by OGD/R. Our findings demonstrate that this compound attenuates OGD/R induced neuronal injury mainly by virtue of its anti-apoptosis and antioxidative properties via affecting the expression of Nrf2 and P53, and their downstream target gene transcription.
