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

Banhasasim-tang (BHS) is an herbal medicine that has been widely used in East Asia to treat various symptoms associated with upper abdomen swelling. BHS has not been studied previously for neuroinflammation or cognitive disorder. Here, we use a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) model to investigate the effects and mechanisms of BHS in neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment of mice. We used a mouse model of LPS-induced cognitive impairment and neuroinflammation and examined whether administration of BHS prevents these deficits via Morris water maze test, passive avoidance test, histopathological analysis, Western blotting, and real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). We found via behavioral tests that BHS treatment effectively prevented LPS-induced memory loss and neuronal damage in mice. Histopathological analysis of mouse brains revealed that BHS inhibited LPS-induced expression of microglial and astrocyte activation markers. Furthermore, BHS inhibits the production of markers related to neurodegeneration, amyloidogenesis, and inflammation, and mRNA expression of inflammatory mediators in mouse brain tissue. Additionally, BHS pretreatment effectively inhibited generation of inflammatory factors and pathways in BV2 microglial cells stimulated by LPS. These observations indicate that BHS is effective in preventing cognitive impairment caused by neuroinflammation and has strong potential as a candidate treatment for neuronal inflammatory diseases.
