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

backgroundTo investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on brain damage and autophagy levels in a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion.

methodsNeurologic injury and infarcted areas were evaluated according to the modified neurological severity score and 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. Western blots were used to determine beclin1, caspase-3 and fodrin1 protein expression. Beclin1 protein expression (an autophagy marker), positive terminal dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining (an apoptosis marker) and positive propidium iodide (PI) staining (a necrosis marker) were detected by immunofluorescence.

resultsOur results indicated that HBO could decrease the infarct volume and speed up the recovery of the neurological deficit scores in ischemic rats. Beclin1 was down-regulated after HBO treatment. HBO treatment inhibited fodrin1 protein expression and decreased the number of PI-positive cells. HBO also down-regulated caspase-3 and decreased the number of TUNEL-positive cells.

conclusionCerebral ischemia caused early neuronal death due to necrosis, followed by delayed neuronal death due to apoptosis. Consequently, autophagy might be involved in all processes of ischemia. HBO could protect the brain against ischemic injury, and the possible mechanisms might be correlated with decreased autophagy activity and decreased apoptosis and necrosis levels.
