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

aimHind limb ischemia is one of the peripheral arterial diseases affecting majority of the people with atherosclerosis, diabetes and chronic cigarette smokers. Hind limb ischemic-reperfusion injury is also one of the exacerbating events in these peoples, resulting in hind limb dysfunction. The aim of this study was to identify the effects of ethanolic extracts of EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE: Unilateral femoral artery ligated diabetic rats were orally fed with EEMI (0.2 and 0.4 g/kg) for 14 days. At the end of the study, plasma levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and relevant biochemical parameters were measured. The isolated gastrocnemius muscles were used for gene expression and histopathological studies.

resultsThere was a significant reduction (p < 0.05) in the plasma levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, nitric oxide, malondialdehyde; and the expression levels of mRNA of induced nitric oxide synthase and intercellular adhesion molecule -1; and increase in anti-inflammatory cytokine, in isolated gastrocnemius muscles of animals treated with 0.2 and 0.4 g/kg of EEMI in comparison to disease control. In addition, histopathological study of gastrocnemius muscle and hind limb function test indicated the recovery of tissue damage from ischemic reperfusion at 0.2 and 0.4 g/kg of EEMI in comparison to disease control.

conclusionWe conclude that 14-day EEMI treatment of rats with acute hind limb ischemia/reperfusion in diabetic rats recovered from ischemic/reperfusion injury by modulating (decreasing) oxidative stress and inflammation.
