Neuroprotective effects of curcumin on the cerebellum in a rotenone-induced Parkinson's Disease Model.
Article in CNS neuroscience & therapeutics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
aimsParkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent age-related neurodegenerative disorder. The cerebellum plays a role in PD pathogenesis. Curcumin has numerous medicinal uses, mostly attributed to its potent antioxidant properties. This study investigated the potential protective influence of curcumin on the cerebellum of albino rats with rotenone-induced PD.
methodsForty adult male albino rats were randomized into four treatment groups: vehicle (group I); rotenone 3 mg/kg/day i.p. injection (group II); rotenone 3 mg/kg/day plus curcumin 30 mg/kg/day i.p. injection (group III); and curcumin 30 mg/kg/day i.p. injection (group IV).
resultsCompared to group I, group II exhibited marked degenerative changes in hematoxylin & eosin-stained sections and a reduction in Nissl granules in the Purkinje cells of the cerebellum. In group III, the neurotoxic effects in the cerebellum were reduced. Furthermore, the degenerated Purkinje and GFAP-positive cells increased considerably in group II and were partially reduced in group III versus group II. Compared to group I, rats in group II showed reduced rotarod motor activity, partially restored in group III. Acetylcholine esterase, glutathione, and superoxide dismutase were significantly reduced, and malondialdehyde was significantly increased in group II compared to group I and was partially increased in group III.
conclusionCurcumin attenuated neurotoxic effects and degenerative histological changes and alleviated induced oxidative stress in the cerebellar cortex of a PD rat model. Therefore, curcumin dietary supplementation may have neuroprotective effects against the development of cerebellum-related PD symptoms.
