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

Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is the most common and significant pathological features of traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, there are still no effective drugs to combat the formation and progression of DAI in affected individuals. FK506, also known as tacrolimus, is an immunosuppressive drug, which is widely used in transplantation medicine for the reduction of allograft rejection. Previous studies have identified that FK506 may play an important role in the nerve protective effect of the central nervous system. In the present study, apoptosis of neuronal cells was observed following the induction of experimental DAI. The results demonstrated that it was closely related with the upregulation of death‑associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1). It was hypothesized that FK506 may inhibit the activity of DAPK1 by inhibiting calcineurin activity, which may be primarily involved in anti‑apoptosis following DAI induction. Through researching the expression of nerve regeneration associated proteins (NF‑H and GAP‑43) following DAI, the present study provides novel data to suggest that FK506 promotes axon formation and nerve regeneration following experimental DAI. Therefore, FK506 may be a potent therapeutic for inhibiting nerve injury, as well as promoting the nerve regeneration following DAI.
