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

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) proved to be an important tool, not only in the induction of neuroinflammatory models, but also in demonstrating the behavioral and cognitive consequences of endotoxemia. Curcumin, in its native form, has proven to be a worthy candidate for further development as it protects the dopaminergic neurons against LPS-induced neurotoxicity. However, it remains hindered by its poor bioavailability. In this study we aim to explore the possible molecular mechanism of LPS-induced neurotoxicity and the possible protective effects of orally supplemented nanocurcumin. Thirty-six adult male Wistar rats weighing 170-175 g were divided into six groups and treated with single I.P. (intra-peritoneal) dose of LPS (sigma and extracted; separately) (5 mg/kg BW) plus daily oral nanocurcumin (15 mg/kg BW). The rats were followed for 7 days after the LPS injection and nanocurcumin supplementations daily via oral gavage. After scarification, the levels of neurotransmitters, antioxidants, and amyloidogenesis markers were assessed in brain tissues. Nanocurcumin showed adequate antioxidant and neuroprotective effects, rescuing the rats which had been injected intraperitoneally with LPS endotoxin.
