Expression of Bcl-2 and Bad in hippocampus of status epileptic rats and molecular mechanism of intervened recombinant human erythropoietin.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Injury of hippocampal neurons in status epilepticus (SE) SD rats kindled by pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) were studied, and the changes of apoptosis neurons, protein expression of Bad and Bcl-2 alone and combined application of phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002 and recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) were evaluated for the possible mechanisms of rHuEpo. The SE rats kindled by the PTZ were randomly divided into normal control group [normal saline (NS)], model group (PTZ + NS), rHuEpo treated group (PTZ + rHuEpo), LY294002 treated group (PTZ + LY294002 + rHuEpo) and LY294002 control group (rHuEpo + PTZ + DMSO). Apoptosis of hippocampal neurons was detected by TUNEL method; expression of phosphorylation protein kinase B (p-PKB/p-Akt), Bcl-2 and Bad were detected by immunohistochemistry; the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA, Bad mRNA in hippocampal neurons of rats were detected through reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR); the expression of Akt, p-Akt and Bcl-2, Bad protein in hippocampal neurons of rats were detected by western blotting. The amount of apoptotic neurons was less in the rHuEpo treated group and the LY294002 control group than in the LY294002 treated group (P<0.05). The expression of p-Akt protein and Bcl-2 protein increased while the Bad protein decreased significantly in the rHuEpo treated group and the LY294002 control group compared with the LY294002 treated group (P<0.05). The expression of Bad protein and Bad mRNA in hippocampus increased while the p-Akt, Bcl-2, Bcl-2 mRNA decreased significantly in the LY294002 treated group compared with the rHuEpo treated group (P<0.05). The PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is one of the pathways of rHuEpo neuroprotective effects and was confirmed from both the of positive and negative aspects. rHuEpo regulates the expression of mitochondrial apoptotic pathway related factors Bad and Bcl-2 to inhibit apoptosis and promotes neuronal survival.
