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

At present, predicting the severity of brain injury caused by global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (GCI/RI) is a clinical problem. After such an injury, clinical indicators that can directly reflect neurological dysfunction are lacking. The change in hippocampal microstructure is the key to memory formation and consolidation. Diffusion tensor imaging is a highly sensitive tool for visualizing injury to hippocampal microstructure. Although hippocampal microstructure, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and tropomyosin-related kinase B (TrkB) levels are closely related to nerve injury and the repair process after GCI/RI, whether these indicators can reflect the severity of such hippocampal injury remains unknown. To address this issue, we established rat models of GCI/RI using the four-vessel occlusion method. Diffusion tensor imaging parameters, BDNF, and TrkB levels were correlated with modified neurological severity scores. The results revealed that after GCI/RI, while neurological function was not related to BDNF and TrkB levels, it was related to hippocampal fractional anisotropy. These findings suggest that hippocampal fractional anisotropy can reflect the severity of hippocampal injury after global GCI/RI. The study was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Capital Medical University, China (approval No. AEEI-2015-139) on November 9, 2015.
