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

The neuro-inflammation is well known to be an inflammatory response in the brain tissue. Anti-inflammatory therapy in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) pathogenesis is a potential therapeutic strategy for post-I/R injury. Currently, we made attempt to scrutinize the neuro-protective effect of tangeretin against I/R injury in the brain of experimental rats. I/R injury is induced in the brain via transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (2 h) and reperfusion (20 h). The infarction area, brain water content and neurofunctional parameters were also estimated. Inflammatory cytokines and brain injury markers were scrutinized at the end of the study. mRNA expression of interleukin 6 (IL-6), toll-like receptor-4 (TLR-4), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFNG-γ), and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) was estimated using the qRT-PCR. Tangeretin significantly (P < 0.001) decreased brain water content, infarct volume, neurological score, brain edema, and Evans blue leakage. Tangeretin significantly (P < 0.001) down-regulated the inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress parameters in the serum and brain tissue of experimental rats. qRT-PCR data demonstrated that rats treated with tangeretin could significantly (P < 0.001) suppress the IL-1β, TLR-4 TNF-α, IFNG-γ, and IL-6 and boost the expression of TGF-β1 compared with I/R injury rats. The result clearly showed tangeretin neuro-protective and anti-inflammatory effect against I/R injury in rats through suppressed inflammatory reaction.
