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

Neurotoxicity caused by cisplatin is a major obstacle during chemotherapy. Oxidative stress and inflammation are considered the primary mechanism behind neuronal damage which affects the continuing chemotherapy regimen. Agomelatine was recently described as a neuroprotective compound against toxic insults in the nervous systems. It is an analog of the well-known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound melatonin and currently used for depression and sleep disturbances. In the current study, we investigated the possible neuroprotective role of agomelatine against cisplatin-induced oxidative, inflammatory, and behavioral alterations in male rats. Our results show that agomelatine prevented cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity in the HT-22 mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line. Additionally, agomelatine treatment inhibited cisplatin-induced behavioral deficits and neuronal integrity in vivo. For the evaluation of the effect of agomelatine on oxidative stress and inflammation, GSH, MDA, TNF, and IL-6 levels were analyzed in HT-22 cells and hippocampal tissues. Agomelatine significantly attenuated oxidative stress and inflammation due to the cisplatin insult in vitro and in vivo. Also, agomelatine treatment ameliorated the neuronal pathology in the hippocampus, which is strongly related to cognition and memory. Taken together, our results indicate that in males, the neuroprotective effect of agomelatine is mediated through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions abrogating functional deficits.
