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 disease is characterized by the death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. We explored the neuroprotective effect of Selegiline and Piribedil, the Monoamine Oxidase Type B (MAO-B) and dopamine agonist to Parkinson disease (PD). After embryonic Wistar rat were induced by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from PD patients, Selegiline and Piribedil were administered to Wistar rat. Immunohistochemical staining, RT-PCR and western blot were adopted to analyze the changes of morphology, lactate dehydrogenase activity, tyrosine hydroxylase positive neurons rate, and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression in Wistar rat. The two drugs do not affect the normal growth of dopamine neurons. Selegiline and Piribedil both decreased the injury caused by CSF of PD patients in Wistar rat. We observed decreased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, increased TH (+)/total cells ratio and increased the TH expression in treated Wistar rat with dose-dependent effects. The morphological changes of cells are consistent with above observation. Selegiline and Piribedil have neuroprotective effects to induced PD Wistar rat with dose-dependent effect. Selegiline demonstrated stronger neuroprotective effect than Piribedil, and the two drugs have potential treatment effect in clinical for PD patients.
