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

Soy isoflavones (SIF) are soybean phytochemicals that are considered to be biologically active components that protect from neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, the therapeutic effect of SIF was evaluated in a diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat model. Twenty male GK rats were randomly divided into diabetes mellitus (DM) model group and SIF+DM group (n=10 in each group). Twenty age-matched male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group (CON group) and CON+SIF group, with 10 rats in each group. The learning and memory functions of the animals were determined by the Morris water maze (MWM) test. Hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) was performed to examine pyramidal neuron loss in the CA1 area of the hippocampus. Markers of oxidative stress (OS) were measured to evaluate oxidative stress-mediated injury. RT-PCR and western blotting were used to analyze the expression of nuclear factorerythroid2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and NAD(P)H dehydrogenase quinone1 (NQO1). Treatment with SIF for 4 weeks alleviated the cognitive dysfunction of the GK rats as determined by the MWM test. Moreover, SIF treatment also reduced diabetes-related oxidative reactions. In addition, SIF enhanced the expression of Nrf2, HO-1 and NQO1, suggesting a potential antioxidation mechanism for the effect of SIF. These findings suggest that SIF can be considered candidates for inhibiting the progression of diabetes-induced cognitive dysfunction, provide novel insights into the antioxidant effect of SIF and further strengthen the link between oxidative stress and diabetes.
