Scalp Acupuncture Attenuates Brain Damage After Intracerebral Hemorrhage Through Enhanced Mitophagy and Reduced Apoptosis in Rats.
Article in Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
To study the effect of scalp acupuncture (SA) on the mitophagy signaling pathway in the caudate nucleus of Sprague-Dawley rats following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). An ICH model was established by injecting autologous arterial blood into the caudate nucleus in 200 male Sprague-Dawley rats, which were divided into five groups: sham, ICH, 3-methyladenine group (3-MA, 30 mg/kg), SA, and SA+3-MA. Animals were analyzed at 6 and 24 h as well as at 3 and 7 days. Composite neurological scale score was significantly higher in the SA group than in the ICH group. Transmission electron microscopy showed less structural damage and more autophagic vacuoles within brain in the SA group than in the ICH group. SA group showed higher levels of Beclin1, Parkin, PINK1, NIX protein, and a lower level of Caspase-9 in brain tissue. These animals consequently showed less neural cell apoptosis. Compared with the SA group, however, the neural function score and levels of mitophagy protein in the SA+3-MA group were decreased, neural cell apoptosis was increased with more severe structural damage, which suggested that 3-MA may antagonize the protective effect of SA on brain in rats with ICH. SA may mitigate the neurologic impairment after ICH by enhancing mitophagy and reducing apoptosis.
