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

contextSepsis is a systemic inflammatory disease; pristimerin exhibits strong antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

objectivesWe explored whether pristimerin protected against cognitive dysfunction and neuroinflammation in C57BL/6 J mice with sepsis-induced brain injuries. MATERIALS AND

methodsSepsis was induced by intraperitoneal administration of 2 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS). C57BL/6 J mice were separated into four groups (

resultsPristimerin improved cognitive function and reduces the neurological score to 1.15 ± 0.03. Pristimerin significantly reduced all cytokine levels: TNF-α by 18 ± 0.6 pg/mg, IL-1β by 43 ± 1.3 pg/mg and IL-6 by 34 ± 1.12 pg/mg. There was significant (

conclusionsPristimerin ameliorated neuronal injury by regulating PI3K/Akt signalling in mice with sepsis-induced brain injuries. Pristimerin may merit further development for clinical applications.
