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

This study aimed to investigate the effects of rat anti-mouse interleukin (IL)-6 receptor antibody (MR16-1) on the recovery of cognitive function in stroke mice. Adult male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Mice were randomly assigned into three groups: sham group, model group, and MR16-1 group. After the treatment of MR16-1, spatial learning and memory performance of mice were evaluated by the Morris water maze (MWM) and Y-maze tests. Then, brain slices were obtained and infarct volume and neuronal apoptosis were assessed by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining and Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay, respectively. Protein expression levels of apoptosis-associated proteins and multiple inflammatory cytokines were determined by Western blot analysis. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) was used to examine the mRNA levels of various inflammatory cytokines in brain slices and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The results showed that MR16-1 improved performances of stroke mice in MWM and Y-maze tests. Moreover, MR16-1 ameliorated MCAO-induced infarct, neuronal apoptosis, and inflammatory response. Furthermore, MR16-1 promoted the expression of Bcl-2 and inhibited the expression of Bax in stroke mice, which revealed the inhibitory effect of MR16-1 on neuronal apoptosis. IL-6 levels in brain and CSF were both decreased by MR16-1 treatment in stroke mice. MR16-1 ameliorated cognitive dysfunction and apoptosis in stroke mice, involving the inhibition of inflammatory response and pro-apoptotic Bax, and the up-regulation of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2. The data supported that MR16-1 might be a potential therapeutic drug for the treatment of stroke.
