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

Traditional Chinese medicine has growing importance in the treatment of ischemia stroke due to its abundance and low drug resistance. In this study, we aim to investigate the therapeutic potential of daucosterol palmitate against ischemia stroke, as well as its neuro-protective mechanism. The dose-response effects of daucosterol palmitate in the protection from brain damage were evaluated in a cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) rat model. The correlation of neuro-protective effects of daucosterol palmitate with apoptosis inhibition was examined and the possible signaling targets were identified. Our findings revealed that daucosterol palmitate treatment after 2 h' ischemia significantly lowered brain damage, and neuronal cell apoptosis caused by I/R injury in a dose-response mode (20, 40 and 80 mg/kg). Western blot analysis indicated that daucosterol palmitate could reverse the effects of I/R injury on protein expression of PI3K and mTOR, and phosphorylation of Akt. Contrarily, inactivation of PI3K using wortmannin dramatically antagonized the effect of daucosterol palmitate for I/R injury. With these findings, it supports the application potential of daucosterol palmitate in the treatment of ischemia stroke. Besides, the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway might be potential cellular targets for daucosterol palmitate.
