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

backgroundIschemic stroke usually initiates inflammation and oxidative/nitrosative stress leading to neuronal death.

aimTo investigate the existence of oxidative/nitrosativestress in rats subjected to focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion and its effects on the consequent neurological deficits. MATERIAL AND

methodExperimental procedures were performed on 30 adult males Wister rats. In the test group, transient focal cerebral ischemia was induced in 15 rats by occlusion of the left common carotid artery (CCA) for 30 minutes followed by reperfusion for 24 hours. Another 15 rats underwent the surgery at the same neck region without occlusion of CCA and served as a control group. Neurobehavioral tests were evaluated, the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and nitric oxide (NO) metabolites were measured in the serum and brain tissue to detect the effect of surgery on in each group.

resultThe serum and brain tissue levels of MDA and NO in the test group were significantly higher compared to the control group (P < 0.001). In contrast, serum and brain tissue levels of TAC of rats subjected to ischemia reperfusion was significantly lower compared to the sham operated rats (P < 0.001). Neurological deficit of the test group correlated positively with serum TAC (CC = 0.937, P = 0.000) and brain tissue TAC (CC = 0.949, P = 0.000) and negatively with serum MDA (CC = -0.949, P = 0.000), brain tissue MDA (CC = -0.963, P = 0.000), serum NO (CC = -0.942, P = 0.000) and brain tissue NO (CC = -0.952, P = 0.000).

conclusionThe study provided further evidence for the presence of oxidative/nitrosative stress in rats subjected to cerebral ischemia/reperfusion and demonstrates a relationship between oxidative/nitrosative biomarkers and the consequent neurological deficits.
