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

introductionβ-Asarone is a major component of MATERIAL AND

methodsThe rats were randomly divided into 9 groups: normal control, sham-operated control, β-asarone (12.5, 25, and 50 mg/kg intragastrically, daily) alone, Alzheimeric control rats (β-amyloid, intrahippocampal), β-asarone (12.5, 25, and 50 mg/kg intragastrically, daily) together with β-amyloid, and treatment was performed accordingly. Animals were injected with β-amyloid bilaterally. Animals received β-asarone daily using an intragastric tube for 50 days, starting from 30 days before administration of the β-amyloid. The rats were sacrificed and parameters of oxidative stress, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity were measured in hippocampus homogenate. Histopathological changes were examined by Bielschowsky staining.

resultsOur results showed that administration of β-asarone (25 and 50 mg/kg) significantly increased the levels of antioxidant enzymes, including SOD (1.09 ±0.02, 1.21 ±0.02,

conclusionsThese results indicate that β-asarone is effective in providing protection against oxidative stress and neuronal damage induced by β-amyloid.
