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

Aging is an ultimate reality that everyone has to face. D-galactose (D-gal) has been used extensively to develop aging model. Trace elements such as selenium (Se) have been used as a potential antioxidant for neuro-protection. The present work aims to develop therapeutic agents such as Se for the treatment of aging-induced neurological ailments such as anxiety, depression, and memory impairment. For this purpose, mice were treated with D-gal at a dose of 300 mg/ml/kg and various doses of Se (0.175 and 0.35mg/ml/kg) for 28 days. Behavioral tests were monitored after treatment days. After the behavioral assessment, mice were decapitated and their brains were collected. Hippocampi were removed from the brain for biochemical, neurochemical, and histopathological analysis. The present findings of behavioral analysis showed that D-gal-induced anxiety- and depression-like symptoms were inhibited by both doses of Se. D-gal-induced memory alteration was also prevented by repeated doses of Se (0.175 and 0.35mg/ml/kg). Biochemical analysis showed that D-gal-induced increase of oxidative stress and inflammatory markers and decrease of antioxidant enzymes and total protein contents in the hippocampus were prevented by Se administration. An increase in the activity of acetylcholinesterase was also diminished by Se. The neurochemical assessment showed that D-gal-induced increased serotonin metabolism and decreased acetylcholine levels in the hippocampus were restored by repeated treatment of Se. Histopathological estimations also exhibited; normalization of D-gal induced neurodegenerative changes. It is concluded that D-gal-induced dysfunction in mice hippocampus caused anxiety, depression, memory impairment, oxidative stress, neuro-inflammation, and histological alterations that were mitigated by Se via its antioxidant potential, anti-inflammatory property, and modulating capability of serotonergic and cholinergic functions.
