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

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes deficit in spatial learning and memory function. Physical activity ameliorates neurological dysfunction after TBI. We investigated the effect of late starting treadmill exercise on spatial learning ability in relation with cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB)/brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling pathway using TBI rats. For this study, radial 8-arm maze test, TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling) staining, caspase-3 immunohistochemistry, and western blot for Bax, Bcl-2, BDNF, tyrosine kinase B (TrkB), CREB, and phosphorylated CREP (p-CREB) were performed. TBI was induced by an electromagnetic-controlled cortical impact. The rats in the exercise groups were scheduled to run on a treadmill for 30 min once a day for 8 weeks starting 3 weeks after TBI. TBI impaired spatial learning ability and increased caspase-3 expression in the hippocampal dentate gyrus. TBI enhanced Bax expression and suppressed Bcl-2 expression in the hip-pocampus. TBI increased BDNF and TrkB expressions, resulted in the enhancement of p-CREB/CREB ratio in the hippocampus. However, treadmill exercise improved spatial learning ability, decreased caspase-3 expression, suppressed Bax expression, and increased Bcl-2 expression. Treadmill exercise alleviated TBI-induced over-expression of BDNF and TrkB, which suppressed phosphorylation of CREB in the hippocampus. In the present study, late starting treadmill exercise improved spatial learning ability through suppressing TBI-induced activation of CREB/BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway after TBI.
