Normobaric Hyperoxia Extends Neuro- and Vaso-Protection of N-Acetylcysteine in Transient Focal Ischemia.
Article in Molecular neurobiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers.
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.
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
N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a precursor of glutathione that reduces reperfusion-induced injury, has been shown protection when it was administered pre-ischemia. However, less is known about the effect when it was given post-ischemia and there is no positive result associated with anti-oxidant in clinical trials. This study investigated the neuro- and vaso-protection of post-ischemia NAC administration as well as combining NAC with normobaric hyperoxia (NBO). Male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to NBO or normoxia during 2-h occlusion of the middle cerebral artery, followed by 48-h reperfusion. NAC or vehicle was intraperitoneally administered to rats immediately before reperfusion onset. NAC and NBO treatments produced 1.2 and 30 % reduction of infarction volume, respectively, and combination treatment showed greater reduction (59.8 %) as well as more decrease of hemispheric swelling volume. Of note, combination therapy showed improved neurological assessment and motor function which were sustained for 7 days after reperfusion. We also determined that the combination therapy showed greater inhibitory effects on tight junction protein degradation accompanied by Evan's blue extravasation, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induction, and poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP)-1 activation in ischemic brain tissue. Our results showed that although post-ischemia NAC administration had limited protection, combination treatment of NAC plus NBO effectively prevented blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage and significantly improved the outcome of brain injury, providing new evidence to support the concept that "cocktail" treatment targeting different stages provides better neuro- and vaso-protection than current individual treatment that has all failed in their clinical trials.
