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

Oxidative stress and inflammation play an important role in the pathogenesis of early brain injury (EBI) following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of salvianolic acid A (SalA) on EBI after SAH via its antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic effects. The intraperitoneal administration of SalA (10 and 50 mg/kg/day) significantly alleviated EBI (including neurobehavioral deficits, brain edema, blood-brain barrier permeability, and cortical neuron apoptosis) after SAH in rats. SalA treatment also reduced the post-SAH elevated levels of reactive oxygen species level and malondialdehyde. Further, SalA increased glutathione peroxidase enzymatic activity and the concentrations of glutathione and brain-derived neurotrophic factor in brain cortex, at 24 h after SAH. In addition, SalA also decreased the release of inflammation cytokines (i.e., TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8) in SAH rats. Expressions of cell apoptosis-related proteins were also regulated by SalA treatment in SAH rats. Meanwhile, SalA also modulated Nrf2 signaling, and the phosphorylation of ERK and P38 MAPK signaling in SAH rats. These results indicated that the administration of SalA may ameliorate EBI and provide neuroprotection after SAH in rat models.
