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

Neuroinflammation and neuro-oxidative damage are now considered to be key factors in the neurological diseases. Therefore, it is important to study anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective agents. The present study investigated the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects of catalpol (CAT), and the potential molecular mechanisms involved. The findings revealed that CAT markedly downregulated pro-inflammatory mediator nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated BV2 microglial cells. Moreover, CAT significantly decreased the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA), increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and glutathione (GSH) level, reversed apoptosis, and restored mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in primary cortical neurons stimulated with hydrogen peroxide (H
