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

Perampanel is a novel α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate receptor (AMPAR) antagonist, approved in over 35 countries as an adjunctive therapy for the treatment of seizures. Recently, it was found to exert protective effects against ischemic neuronal injury in vitro. In the present study, we investigated the potential protective effects of perampanel in a traumatic brain injury (TBI) model in rats. Oral administration with perampanel at a dose of 5 mg/kg exerted no major organ-related toxicities. We found that perampanel significantly attenuated TBI-induced brain edema, brain contusion volume, and gross motor dysfunction. The results of Morris water maze test demonstrated that perampanel treatment also improved cognitive function after TBI. These neuroprotective effects were accompanied by reduced neuronal apoptosis, as evidenced by decreased TUNEL-positive cells in brain sections. Moreover, perampanel markedly inhibited lipid peroxidation and obviously preserved the endogenous antioxidant system after TBI. In addition, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed at 4 and 24 h after TBI to evaluate the expression of inflammatory cytokines. The results showed that perampanel suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β, whereas increased the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β1. These data show that the orally active AMPAR antagonist perampanel affords protection against TBI-induced neuronal damage and neurological dysfunction through anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activity.
