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

contextCerebral ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury has a high disability and fatality worldwide. Myrtenol has protective effects on myocardial I/R injury through antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects.

objectiveThis study investigated the effect of myrtenol on cerebral ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and the underlying mechanism. MATERIALS AND

methodsCerebral I/R injury was induced in adult Sprague-Dawley rats by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 90 min. MCAO rats were treated with or without myrtenol (10, 30, or 50 mg/kg/day) or/and U0126 (10 μL) intraperitoneally for 7 days.

resultsIn the present study, myrtenol had no toxicity at concentrations up to 1.3 g/kg. Myrtenol treatment improved neurological function of MCAO rats, with significantly ( DISCUSSION AND

conclusionsMyrtenol reduced brain damage and angiogenesis through activating the ERK1/2 signalling pathway, which may provide a novel alternative strategy for preventing cerebral I/R injury. Further
