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

Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a common complication of sepsis, and has no generally accepted treatment due to its complicated pathophysiology. Previously, we demonstrated the protective role of neuroglobin (Ngb) in SAE rats, but the exact mechanism has not been determined. To investigate the potential neuroprotective roles and mechanisms of Ngb, Sprague-Dawley rats were used. Overexpression of Ngb via intracerebroventricular injection with Ngb plasmids attenuated brain damage assessed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and neurological dysfunction assessed by Morris water maze test. Western blot analysis also showed that the phosphorylation of Akt increased and the protein level of Bax decreased. Furthermore, the protective effect can be abolished by PI3K/Akt pathway inhibitor LY294002. Our results demonstrate that Ngb can protect rats from SAE via a PI3K/Akt/Bax-dependent mechanism.
