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

BACKGROUND AND

aimTraumatic brain injury (TBI) results in death or long term functional disabilities. Eugenol is demonstrated to be beneficial in a range of experimental models of neurological disorders via its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Thus, the present study was designed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of eugenol in a weight-drop induced rat model of TBI. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE: Rats were assigned into five groups; control and TBI groups pretreated with vehicle, and three TBI groups pretreated with different doses of eugenol (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg/day,

resultsWeight-drop induced TBI caused functional disabilities in the rats as indicated by impairment in locomotor activities and short term memory. The TBI also resulted in augmented neuronal cell death designated by chromatolysis. The results also showed disruption in the BBB integrity, increased edema, and lipid peroxidation in the brain of the rats exposed to trauma. Pretreatment with eugenol (100 mg/kg) ameliorated histopathological, neurochemical, and behavioral consequences of trauma.

conclusionFor the first time this study revealed that eugenol can be considered as a potential candidate for managing the functional disabilities associated with TBI because of its antioxidant activities.
