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

Although a previous study reported that propofol had a therapeutic effect in status epilepticus (SE), the mechanisms underlying the effect of propofol in SE remain unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the regulatory mechanisms underlying propofol-induced inhibition of SE.A rat SE model was established using the lithium-pilocarpine injection method. A qRT-PCR and Western blot were utilized to detect the expression of relative molecules. Cell apoptosis was evaluated by a flow cytometry assay. The interaction between miR-15a-5p and NR2B was assessed using a luciferase reporter assay.Propofol inhibited cell apoptosis and increased miR-15a-5p expression both in hippocampal tissues of SE rats and low Mg
