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

Gastrodin (GAS), an active constituent of the Chinese herbal medicine Tianma, has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammation activities but its protective effect to the prevention of neurotoxicity induced by ischemic stroke is unclear. In the present study, middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was used to establish a mice ischemic stroke model. Infarct volume ratio and neurobehavioral score were evaluated, Nissl staining was performed and the expression of cleaved Caspase 3, Bax and B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) were assessed at 24 h or 7 days after reperfusion. In addition, the total superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, as well as the expression of Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), SOD1, phospho-Akt and total Akt and TNF-α and IL-1β in the ischemic hemispheres were also observed at 6 h after reperfusion to assess oxidative stress and inflammatory changes after GAS treatment. It was found that GAS, especially at high dose (100 mg/kg) reduced tested neuronal injury and neurobehavioral deficient in MCAO mice. Enhanced expression of cleaved Caspase 3 and Bax and decreased expression of Bcl-2 by MCAO were also reversed by GAS. Moreover, GAS treatment decreased the MDA content and the expression of TNF-α and IL-1β, and increased amount of SOD activity and the expression of HO-1 and SOD1 in GAS-treated ischemic brain. Furthermore, GAS significantly increased Akt phosphorylation and Nrf2 expression. These results support the neuroprotective effects of GAS, and the activation of Akt/Nrf2 pathway may play a critical role in the pharmacological action of GAS.
