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

Objectives: The Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) phenomenon has a critical role in brain injuries induced by some kinds of stroke. The current study investigates the effects of Coenzyme Q10 (Q10) on global cerebral I/R in rats. Materials and Methods: Fifty male Wistar rats were used in this study. The global cerebral I/R was induced by obstructing both common carotid arteries for 20 min and the animals were treated with Q10 (200 mg/kg; PO.) for 6 weeks. Depressive and anxiety-like behaviors were assessed using the elevated plus-maze and forced swimming test, respectively. Working and spatial learning and memory were assessed by the Y-maze continuous alternation task and Morris water maze. The brain tissues were evaluated for brain edema, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities. Results: Our results indicated that global cerebral I/R increased anxiety and depression-like behavior as well as reduced cognitive performance. Moreover, the levels of BDNF and activities of SOD are reduced in stroke animals. Chronic post-stroke treatment with Q10 decreased brain edema. Furthermore, Q10 administration reduced anxiety and depressive-like behavior as well as cognitive impairments in stroke animals. Q10 also increased the SOD activities and BDNF levels in the brain tissues of stroke animals. Conclusion: Finally, we can conclude that using Q10 supplementation may be beneficial against the global cerebral I/R complications.
