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

The precise mechanisms underlying neuronal injury in Parkinson's disease (PD) are not yet fully elucidated; however, evidence from the in vitro and in vivo PD models suggest that mitochondrial dysfunction may play a major role in PD pathogenesis. Alpha lipoamide, a neutral amide derivative of the lipoic acid, is a better cofactor for mitochondrial dehydrogenase with a stronger protective effect on mitochondria than lipoic acid. Identification of these protective effects of alpha lipoamide on mitochondria, together with the evidence that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a critical role in PD, we speculate that alpha lipoamide may exert a protective effect in PD by regulating the mitochondrial function. The present study investigated the neuroprotective effects of alpha lipoamide in an animal model of PD induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). The results demonstrated that alpha lipoamide could significantly antagonize the 6-OHDA-induced behavioral damages; restore ATP levels in the midbrain; and also improve the fragmentation, vacuolization, and morphology of the mitochondria. The results of Western blot indicated that alpha lipoamide significantly restored the number of dopaminergic neurons in midbrain and substantially recovered the balance between mitochondrial fission, fusion, and transport. In conclusion, the results demonstrated that alpha lipoamide might exert a significant neuroprotective effect in the animal model of PD by regulation of the dynamic properties of mitochondria.
