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

backgroundParkinson's disease (PD) is a common age-related and slowly progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects approximately 1% of the elderly population. In recent years, phytocomponents have aroused considerable interest in the research for PD treatment as they provide a plethora of active compounds including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds. Herein, we aimed to investigate the anti-Parkinson's effect of barbigerone, a natural pyranoisoflavone possessing antioxidant activity in a rotenone-induced rat model of PD.

methodsTo evaluate antioxidant activity, a 0.5 mg/kg dose of rotenone was injected subcutaneously into rats. Barbigerone (10 and 20 mg/kg) was administered to rats for 28 days 1 h prior to rotenone. All behavioral parameters were assessed before sacrificing the rats. On the 29th day, all of the rats were humanely killed and assessed for biochemical changes in antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione, malondialdehyde, and catalase), neurotransmitter levels (dopamine, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, serotonin, dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, and homovanillic acid levels), and neuroinflammatory cytokines [interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, nuclear factor kappa B, and IL-6].

resultsThe data presented in this study has shown that barbigerone attenuated rotenone-induced motor deficits including the rotarod test, catalepsy, akinesia, and open-field test. Additionally, barbigerone has shown improvements in the biochemical and neuroinflammatory parameters in the rotenone-induced rat model of PD.

conclusionThe results demonstrated that barbigerone exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions via reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines. Altogether, these findings suggest that barbigerone could potentially be utilized as a therapeutic agent against PD.
