Coenzyme Q10 and niacin mitigate streptozotocin- induced diabetic encephalopathy in a rat model.
Article in Metabolic brain disease, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Diabetic encephalopathy is an important complication of diabetes characterized by cognitive impairment, neurochemical and structural abnormalities. This study aimed to investigate the effect of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and niacin as well as their combination in the treatment of encephalopathy associated with streptozotocin (STZ)- induced diabetes in rats. Glibenclamide (reference diabetic drug) and donepezil hydrochloride (acetylcholinesterase inhibitor) were also evaluated. Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of STZ (60 mg/kg). One month after STZ injection, diabetic rats were treated with the aforementioned drugs for two weeks. The evaluation was done through measuring glucose level, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), interleukin 6 (IL6), DNA degradation as well as serotonin and noradrenaline as neurotransmitters. The present data illustrated that combining CoQ10 and niacin exhibiting the most potent effect in improving the measured parameters and ameliorating some of diabetes complications.
