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

Hyperhomocysteinemia (hHcy) is regarded as an independent and strong risk factor for cerebrovascular diseases, stroke, and dementias. The hippocampus has a crucial role in spatial navigation and memory processes and is being constantly studied for neurodegenerative disorders. We used a moderate methionine (Met) diet at a dose of 2 g/kg of animal weight/day in duration of four weeks to induce mild hHcy in adult male Wistar rats. A novel approach has been used to explore the hippocampal metabolic changes using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS), involving a 7T MR scanner in combination with histochemical and immunofluorescence analysis. We found alterations in the metabolic profile, as well as remarkable histo-morphological changes such as an increase of hippocampal volume, alterations in number and morphology of astrocytes, neurons, and their processes in the selective vulnerable brain area of animals treated with a Met-enriched diet. Results of both methodologies suggest that the mild hHcy induced by Met-enriched diet alters volume, histo-morphological pattern, and metabolic profile of hippocampal brain area, which might eventually endorse the neurodegenerative processes.
