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

backgroundSinomenine (SIN) has been shown to have protective effects against brain damage following traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the mechanisms and its role in these effects remain unclear. This study was conducted to investigate the potential mechanisms of the protective effects of SIN.

methodsThe weight-drop model of TBI in Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice were treated with SIN or a vehicle via intraperitoneal administration 30 min after TBI. All mice were euthanized 24 h after TBI and after neurological scoring, a series of tests were performed, including brain water content and neuronal cell death in the cerebral cortex.

resultsThe level of cytochrome

conclusionSIN protected neuronal cells by protecting them against apoptosis via mechanisms that involve the mitochondria following TBI.
