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

Oxidative stress and inflammatory responses play a critical contributing factor in cerebral ischemia and reperfusion, which lead to lipid peroxidation and neuronal dysfunction that may represent a target for therapeutic intervention. The present study was aimed to elucidate the neuroprotective effect of tannic acid (TA), a natural polyphenol with potential antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties on middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model in rats. To test this hypothesis, male Wistar rats were pretreated with TA (50 mg/kg b.wt.) and then subjected to 2-h MCAO followed by 22 h of reperfusion. After 2-h MCAO/22-h reperfusion, neurological deficit, infarct sizes, activities of antioxidant enzymes, cytokine level, histology, and immunohistochemistry were used to analyze the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in ischemic brain. The pretreatment of TA showed a marked reduction in infarct size, improved neurological function, suppressed neuronal loss, and downregulated the GFAP expression in MCAO rats. A significantly depleted activity of antioxidant enzymes and content of glutathione in MCAO group were protected significantly in MCAO group pretreated with TA. Conversely, the elevated level of thiobarbituric acid reactive species and cytokines in MCAO group was attenuated significantly in TA-pretreated group when compared with MCAO group. The results indicated that TA protected the brain from damage caused by MCAO, and this effect may thorough diminish the oxidative stress and inflammatory responses.
