Anticonvulsant Effects of Topiramate and Lacosamide on Pilocarpine-Induced Status Epilepticus in Rats: A Role of Reactive Oxygen Species and Inflammation.

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.
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
backgroundStatus epilepticus (SE) is a neurological disorder characterized by a prolonged epileptic activity followed by subsequent epileptogenic processes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the early effects of topiramate (TPM) and lacosamide (LCM) treatment on oxidative stress and inflammatory damage in a model of pilocarpine-induced SE.
methodsMale Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups and the two antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), TPM (40 and 80 mg/kg, i.p.) and LCM (10 and 30 mg/kg, i.p.), were injected three times repeatedly after pilocarpine administration. Rats were sacrificed 24 h post-SE and several parameters of oxidative stress and inflammatory response have been explored in the hippocampus.
resultsThe two drugs TPM and LCM, in both doses used, succeeded in attenuating the number of motor seizures compared to the SE-veh group 30 min after administration. Pilocarpine-induced SE decreased the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels while increasing the catalase (CAT) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA), and IL-1β levels compared to the control group. Groups with SE did not affect the TNF-α levels. The treatment with a higher dose of 30 mg/kg LCM restored to control level the SOD activity in the SE group. The two AEDs, in both doses applied, also normalized the CAT activity and MDA levels to control values. In conclusion, we suggest that the antioxidant effect of TPM and LCM might contribute to their anticonvulsant effect against pilocarpine-induced SE, whereas their weak anti-inflammatory effect in the hippocampus is a consequence of reduced SE severity.
