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

introductionParkinson's Disease (PD) presentations comprise frequent movement disorders in the elderly with various symptoms consisting of motor and non-motor complications. Paeonol is a phenolic chemical agent that has shown antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in different disorders and promising effects on metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR)- and GABAA-mediated neurotransmission. In this research, we tried to show the neuroprotective potential of paeonol in rat PD model induced by intrastriatal 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA).

methodsRats with intrastriatal 6-OHDA lesioning received with paeonol at a dosage of 100 mg/kg/d for one week. In the end, some biomarkers of oxidative stress, apoptosis, and astrogliosis in nigral and striatal tissues were evaluated in addition to behavioral and Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TH) immunohistochemical analysis.

resultsThe obtained data showed that paeonol alleviates apomorphine-induced rotations and reduces the delay time to initiate and the total time in the narrow beam test. However, its beneficial behavioral effect vanished after intracerebroventricular administration of mGluR III or GABAA receptor antagonists. Moreover, paeonol significantly restored striatal malondialdehyde, tissue levels of reactive oxygen species, the activity of the protective and vital enzymes consisting of superoxide dismutase and catalase, Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), DNA fragmentation, phosphor apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1, and nigral aquaporin 4 with no significant and proper change of nitrite, interleukin-1β, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and angiotensin II. Additionally, paeonol prevented injury and reduced tyrosine hydroxylase-containing neurons in the midbrain nigral tissue.

conclusionThese obtained findings evidently designate neuroprotective property of paeonol in 6-OHDA murine model of PD that is exerted via easing of oxidative stress, apoptosis, astrogliosis, and its advantageous effect is to some extent mediated via mGluR III/GABAA pathway.
