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

objectivesTo investigate the effects of syringaldehyde (SA) on the antioxidant and oxidant system in spinal cord ischemia (SCI).

methodsThese study and experiments were conducted at Medical Research Center, Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale, Turkey, between 2014-2018. Eighteen New Zealand White adult male rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=6). Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were measured in the spinal cord tissues. Degenerated neurons, hemorrhage and in ammatory cell migration in the spinal cord were investigated histopathologically. Expressions of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), caspase-3, and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) were evaluated immunohistochemically. Clinically, it was evaluated with modified Tarlov score.

resultsBiochemically, there was an expected decrease in SOD, CAT, and GPx enzyme activities in ischemia groups, there was also an increase in MPO activity at the same time. When the enzyme activities spinal cord ischemia/ reperfusion (SCI/R)+SA, control and SCI/R groups were compared, the difference was found to be statistically significant (p less than 0.05). Glutathione peroxidase enzyme activity levels were very low in ischemia group compared to the significant increase in the SA group (p less than 0.05). Histopathologically, when SCI/R and SCI/R+SA groups were compared, there were statistically significant differences in the number of degenerative neurons and amount of hemorrhage; this comparison shows the significance of treatment in terms of inflammatory cell migration (p less than 0.05). The expressions of nNOS, caspase-3, and NF-κB were found significantly increased in SCI/R group compared to the control group (p less than 0.05). Syringaldehyde treatment decreased nNOS, caspase-3, and NF-κB expressions immunohistochemically. Clinical evaluation showed improvement in the SA-treated group.

conclusionSyringaldehyde therapy administered for protective purposes may reduce oxidative stress, degenerative changes and in ammatory cell migration in the ischemic spinal cord.Saudi Med J 2020; Vol. 41 (4): 341-350doi: 10.15537/smj.2020.4.24993 How to cite this article:Malçok UA,  Aras AB, Şehitoğlu MH, Akman T, Yüksel Y.
