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

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a chronic neuropsychiatric disorder with clinical manifestations of involuntary and repeated muscle twitching and vocal twitching. The drugs used to treat TS are relatively limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of rhynchophylline (RH) and the underlying mechanism in 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI)-induced neurotoxicity in a TS rat model. A TS model was induced with DOI. The rats were divided into control, TS, TS + tiapride (25 mg/kg), and TS + RH (20 and 40 mg/kg) groups. Behavioral tests were performed 24 h after the last administration by nodding and stereotype experiments. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels in striatum and serum were detected with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression levels of Toll-like receptor (TLR)/nucleotide-binding domain (NOD)-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signal proteins in the striatum. The expression of TLR2 and NF-κB p65 subunit was detected with immunohistochemical analysis. RH may significantly improve behavioral changes in rats with DOI-induced TS and reduce the levels of inflammatory factors in serum and striatum. RH inhibited the activation of TLR/NLRP3/NF-κB signaling proteins in the striatum of TS rats. In BV2 cells, DOI-induced inflammation mediated through TLR/NLRP3/NF-κB was significantly inhibited following RH administration. The therapeutic effect of RH in TS was studied and its mechanism of action mediated via the TLR/NLRP3/NF-κB pathway was clarified in vitro and in vivo.
