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

backgroundDelayed paraplegia is a devastating complication of thoracoabdominal aortic surgery. Hydrogen sulfide (H METHODS AND

resultsSpinal cord ischemia was induced in male and female C57BL/6J mice by clamping the aortic arch and the left subclavian artery. Glutathione trisulfide (GSSSG), glutathione (GSH), glutathione disulfide (GSSG), or vehicle alone was administered intranasally at 0, 8, 23, and 32 h after surgery. All mice treated with vehicle alone developed paraplegia within 48 h after surgery. GSSSG, but not GSH or GSSG, prevented paraplegia in 8 of 11 male mice (73%) and 6 of 8 female mice (75%). Intranasal administration of

conclusionsIntranasal administration of polysulfides rescued mice from delayed paraplegia after transient spinal cord ischemia. The neuroprotective effects of GSSSG were associated with increased levels of polysulfides and sulfane sulfur in the lumbar spinal cord. Targeted delivery of sulfane sulfur by polysulfides may prove to be a novel approach to the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
