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

Jiawei Shenqi-wan (JSQW), which comprises Shenqi-wan and two additional medicinal herbs, has been widely used for the treatment of various growth impairments, including cerebral palsy. In the present study, JSQW was administered to hypoxic-ischemic Sprague-Dawley rats that underwent treadmill training from 4-7 weeks of age to examine the beneficial effects of combined JSQW and treadmill therapy. Behavioral examinations were performed and a significant improvement in cylinder test performance was observed in rats treated with treadmill training compared with hypoxic-ischemia rats (P<0.05), as well as a significant improvement in passive avoidance test performance for rats treated with JSQW (P<0.05). The thickness of the corpus callosum and the integrated optical density (IOD) of myelin basic protein (MBP) were significantly increased by treatment with treadmill therapy alone (P<0.01 and P<0.001, respectively) and treatment with both JSQW and treadmill significantly increased the IOD of MBP compared with hypoxic-ischemia rats (P<0.001). Western blot analysis revealed that the expression of neuronal nuclei (NeuN) and doublecortin (Dcx) significantly decreased (P<0.001 and P<0.05, respectively) and MBP expression markedly decreased in the ipsilateral subventricular zone of hypoxic-ischemic rats compared with the control group; however, the expression of NeuN was significantly recovered by treatment with both JSQW and treadmill training (P<0.05). Furthermore, Dcx expression was significantly recovered by treatment with JSQW (P<0.05), and MBP expression was significantly restored by treatment with treadmill training (P<0.01). In the immunohistochemical analyses, a significant increase in the number of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) positive cells in this region was observed in treadmill-treated rats (P<0.05), whereas significant increases in the number of Brdu/Dcx or NeuN or glial fibrillary acidic protein double-positive cells were observed only in the group co-treated with JSQW and treadmill (P<0.01, P<0.05 and P<0.001, respectively). These results suggest that JSQW and treadmill training may contribute to behavior recovery following hypoxic-ischemia, and JSQW treatment was particularly effective in promoting memory function via enhancing the differentiation of neuronal progenitor cells. The results of the present study therefore suggest that JSQW may provide an additional treatment option for functional recovery with treadmill training in cerebral palsy.
