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

Cerebralcare Granule (CG) improves cerebral microcirculation and relieves vasospasm, but studies investigating its therapeutic effect on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury are lacking. In the present study, we administered CG (0.3, 0.1 and 0.03 g/mL intragastrically) to rats for 7 consecutive days. We then performed transient occlusion of the middle cerebral artery, followed by reperfusion, and administered CG daily for a further 3 or 7 days. Compared with no treatment, high-dose CG markedly improved neurological function assessed using the Bederson and Garcia scales. At 3 days, animals in the high-dose CG group had smaller infarct volumes, greater interleukin-10 expression, and fewer interleukin-1β-immunoreactive cells than those in the untreated model group. Furthermore, at 7 days, high-dose CG-treated rats had more vascular endothelial growth factor-immunoreactive cells, elevated angiopoietin-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor expression, and improved blood coagulation and flow indices compared with untreated model animals. These results suggest that CG exerts specific neuroprotective effects against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury.
