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

backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the preventive effect of translocator protein 18kDa (TSPO) ligand PK11195 on amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), as well as its influence on astrocytes, in order to identify effective ways to prevent aMCI.

methodsMale SD rats were randomly divided into control group (n=10), aMCI group (n=10), PK11195 group (n=10), PK11195 + D-gal group (n=10). The preventive effect of PK11195 on aMCI in rats was evaluated. The cognitive function of rats in four different treatment groups was determined using the Morris water maze (MWM), as well as whole-brain pathology and immunofluorescence of rat brain tissue.

resultsThe results of the MWM behavioral test showed that rats pre-treated with PK11195 had improved escape latency and a higher number of platform crossings compared with the aMCI model rats. PK11195 was also shown to prevent the D-galactose (D-gal)-induced senescence of pyramidal cells in the hippocampal CA1 region and to inhibit the apoptosis of astrocytes. At the same time, compared with the aMCI model rats, the TSPO in the brain tissue of rats pretreated with PK11195 had a lower distribution density.

conclusionsOur results prove that PK11195 can effectively prevent D-gal-induced decline of learning and memory function as well as inhibit abnormal changes of related cells.
