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

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major source of mortality and long-term disability worldwide. The mechanisms associated with TBI development are poorly understood, and little progress has been made in the treatment of TBI. Tanshinone IIA is an effective agent to treat a variety of disorders; however, the mechanisms of Tanshinone IIA on TBI remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the therapeutic potential of Tanshinone IIA on TBI and its underlying molecular mechanisms. Changes in microvascular permeability were examined to determine the extent of TBI with Evans blue dye. Brain edema was assessed by measuring the wet weight to dry weight ratio. The expression levels of CD11, interleukin- (IL-) 1
