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

objectiveInflammation and oxidative stress are implicated in pathogenesis of spinal cord injury (SCI). Trehalose, a nonreducing disaccharide, exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The present study investigated the therapeutic efficacy of trehalose in the SCI model. DESIGN AND

settingAn experimental study was designed using 120 male Wistar rats which were randomly divided into three groups including SCI, SCI + phosphate buffer saline (vehicle) and SCI + trehalose. All rats were subjected to SCI. Immediately after SCI, vehicle and trehalose groups received intrathecal injection of buffer and trehalose, respectively. OUTCOME MEASURES: The level of tissue TNFα, IL-1β, nitric oxide, malondialdehyde, myeloperoxidase, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) as well as hindlimb function were assessed at 4 hours, 1, 3 and 7 days post-SCI.

resultsData indicated an early significant decrease in inflammatory and oxidative responses following SCI in trehalose treated group. Moreover, trehalose reduced GFAP expression as soon as 1-day post-trauma. Furthermore, trehalose treatment increased the score of hindlimb function.

conclusionOur results indicated that treatment with trehalose reduces the development of secondary injury associated with SCI. This effect likely underlies improved neurological function.
