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

Cerebral blood flow dysregulation caused by oxidative stress contributes to adverse neurologic outcome of seizures. A carbon monoxide (CO) donor CORM-A1 has antioxidant and cytoprotective properties. We investigated whether enteral supplements of CORM-A1 can improve cerebrovascular outcome of bicuculline-induced seizures in newborn piglets. CORM-A1 (2 mg/kg) was given to piglets via an oral gastric tube 10 minutes before or 20 minutes after seizure onset. Enteral CORM-A1 elevated CO in periarachnoid cerebrospinal fluid and produced a dilation of pial arterioles. Postictal cerebral vascular responses to endothelium-, astrocyte-, and vascular smooth muscle-dependent vasodilators were tested 48 hours after seizures by intravital microscopy. The postictal responses of pial arterioles to bradykinin, glutamate, the AMPA receptor agonist quisqualic acid, ADP, and heme were greatly reduced, suggesting that seizures cause injury to endothelial and astrocyte components of the neurovascular unit. In contrast, in the two groups of piglets receiving enteral CORM-A1, the postictal cerebral vascular responsiveness to these dilators was improved. Overall, enteral supplements of CORM-A1 before or during seizures offer a novel effective therapeutic option to deliver cytoprotective mediator CO to the brain, reduce injury to endothelial and astrocyte components of cerebral blood flow regulation and to improve the cerebrovascular outcome of neonatal seizures.
