Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

BACKGROUND Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) have a very good therapeutic effect in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and nerve injury disease. However, research on Parkinson disease (PD) treatment with APS is lacking. MATERIAL AND METHODS The present study was designed to explore the effects of APS on the protection of neurons and mitochondrial in a mouse model of PD using behavioral experiments, and observations of mitochondrial structure and transmembrane potential. RESULTS It was shown that APS could attenuate 1-methyl-4-pheyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced motor dysfunction (P<0.01), increase the proportion of TH-positive cells (P<0.01), reverse MPTP-induced mitochondrial structural damage, and reduce MPTP-induced high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increase MPTP-induced decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential. In addition, APS also decreased the bax/bcl2 ratio, and cytochrome-c and caspase-3 protein content (P<0.01) in substantia nigra in our mouse PD model. CONCLUSIONS APS provided a protective effect on neurons and mitochondrial in a mouse PD model.
