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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the second most occurring neurological disorder after stroke and is associated with cerebral hypoperfusion, possibly contributing to cognitive impairment. In the present study, neuroprotective and anti-AD effects of embelin were evaluated in chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) rat model using permanent bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (BCCAO) method. Rats were administered with embelin at doses of 0.3, 0.6 or 1.2 mg/kg (i.p) on day 14 post-surgery and tested in Morris water maze (MWM) followed by electrophysiological recordings to access cognitive abilities and synaptic plasticity. The hippocampal brain regions were extracted for gene expression and neurotransmitters analysis. Treatment with embelin at the doses of 0.3 and 0.6 mg/kg significantly reversed the spatial memory impairment induced by CCH in rats. Embelin treatment has significantly protected synaptic plasticity impairment as assessed by hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) test. The mechanism of this study demonstrated that embelin treatment alleviated the decreased expression of BDNF, CREB1, APP, Mapt, SOD1 and NFκB mRNA levels caused by CCH rats. Furthermore, treatment with embelin demonstrated neuromodulatory activity by its ability to restore hippocampal neurotransmitters. Overall these data suggest that embelin improve memory and synaptic plasticity impairment in CCH rats and can be a potential drug candidate for neurodegenerative disease-related cognitive disorders.
