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

background

methodsSeventy-two Wister male rats were randomly assigned into six groups (

resultsThe EGb761 treatment groups significantly improved the spatial learning and memory of rats. Moreover, EGb761 treatment could reduce hippocampal neuronal damage based on histopathological and ultrastructural observation. Further studies have proved that these activities are remarkably related with the reducing level of MDA, protein carbonyl and lipofuscin, and 4-HNE protein expression, as well as the increasing of SOD and T-AOC content. Furthermore, EGb761 improves telomerase activity by detecting telomerase activity in the brain of aging rats.

conclusionOur data indicate that EGb761 is an effective agent against D-gal-induced hippocampal neuronal loss owing to its antioxidative as well as carbonyl stress properties. Meanwhile, the carbonylation hypothesis is confirmed that the high level of 4-HNE may cause age-related neurodegenerative disorders.
