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

Nicotinamide is amide form of vitamin B3, participate in oxidation-reduction reaction, and it plays an important role in the maintenance of normal life activities in cells; it has broad application prospects in the treatment of heart blood-vessel disease, respiratory disease, type 1 diabetes and inflammatory autoimmune diseases. Thus the present study aimed to identify whether the nicotinamide improves sevoflurane-induced cognitive impairment and its potential mechanisms in rat. Firstly, Male Sprague-Dawley rats were induced by 2.1% sevoflurane for 6 h. Protective function of nicotinamide on cognitive impairment was evaluated using Morris water maze test in the rats. Next, NF-κB and caspase-3 activities, and p53, Bax and Bcl-2 protein expression was executed using commercial kits and Western blot analysis, respectively. Preconditioning with nicotinamide could improve cognitive impairment in the rats. Administrate of nicotinamide suppressed the activation of NF-κB and caspase-3, reduced the protein expression of Bax, and promoted Bcl-2 protein expression in rats. The present results suggested nicotinamide improves sevoflurane-induced cognitive impairment and has an anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effect against sevoflrane-induced damages.
