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

objectiveThe study investigated the effect 5-[(naphthalen-2-yloxy) methyl]-1,3,4-oxadiaszole2-thiol (B3) in animal model of acute epileptic shock.

methodsThe pharmacokinetics profile of B3 was checked through SwissADME software. The binding affinities of B3, diazepam, and flumazenil (FLZ) were obtained through Auto Dock and PyRx. Post docking analysis and interpretation of hydrogen bonds were performed through Discovery Studio Visualizer 2016. Molecular dynamics simulations of three complexes were carried out through Desmond software package. B3 was then proceeded in PTZ-induced acute seizures models. Flumazenil was used in animal studies for elucidation of possible mechanism of B3. After behavioral studies, the animals were sacrificed, and the brain samples were isolated and stored in 4% formalin for molecular investigations including H and E staining, IHC staining and Elisa etc.

resultsThe results demonstrate that B3 at 20 and 40 mg/kg prolonged the onset time of generalized seizures. B3 considerably increased the expression of protective glutathione S-transferase and glutathione reductase and reduced lipid peroxidation and inducible nitric oxide synthase (P < 0.001) in the cortex. B3 significantly suppressed (P < 0.01) the over expression of the inflammatory mediator tumor necrosis factor-α, whose up-regulation is reported in acute epileptic shocks.

conclusionHence, it is concluded from the aforementioned results that B3 provides neuroprotective effects PTZ-induced acute epileptic model. FLZ pretreatment resulted in inhibition of the anticonvulsant effect of B3. B3 possesses anticonvulsant effect which may be mediated through GABA
