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

backgroundCyclophosphamide (CPA) is the most widely prescribed cancer chemotherapeutic agent which shows serious neurotoxic side effect. Generation of reactive oxygen species at the cellular level is the basic mechanism of cyclophosphamide induced neurotoxicity. Edaravone is the synthetic drug used for brain stroke and has potent antioxidant property.

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effect of edaravone on neurobehavioral and neuropathological alteration induced by cyclophosphamide in male rats.

methodsTwenty eight Sprague-Dawley rats were equally divided into four groups of seven rats in each. The control group received saline, and other groups were given CPA intraperitoneally (100 mg/kg), CPA (100 mg/kg) intraperitoneally + Edaravone (10 mg/kg) orally, or Edaravone (10 mg/kg) orally for one month.

resultsOur data showed that CPA significantly elevated brain AChE activity in the hippocampal region. A decrease in the total antioxidant capacity and a reduction in the CAT, SOD, and GPX activity occurred in the brains of the rats exposed to CPA. CPA-treated rats showed a significant impairment in long-termmemory and motor coordination. These results were supported by histopathological observations of the brain. Results revealed that administration of edaravone reversed AChE activity alternation and ameliorated behavioral and histopathological changes induced by CPA.

conclusionThis study suggests that co-administration of edaravone with cyclophosphamide may be a useful intriguing therapeutic approach to overcome cyclophosphamide induced neurotoxicity.
