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

Objective: This study is aimed to determine the metabolomic effects of the hybrid medicine formula Yi-Qi-Bu-Shen (YQBS) on the neurotransmitter aspects of cognitive impairment in diabetic rats. Methods: In the current study, streptozotocin (STZ) was used to induce diabetic animal model in male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. After successful establishment of diabetic SD rats' model, age-matched healthy SD rats and diabetic SD rats were treated with low and high doses of YQBS, and then tested for learning memory ability and analyzed for pathological changes. In addition, neurotransmitter metabolic changes in hippocampal subdivisions of rats from different treated groups were analyzed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technique. Results: YQBS could significantly improve memory-cognitive impairment in diabetic rats as evidenced by the shortening of latency to target and the reduction of latency first entrance to target. Moreover, YQBS also improved the pathological alterations in the hippocampal region in the brains of diabetic rats. Metabolomic analysis showed that the expression of noradrenaline hydrochloride was down-regulated and the expressions of levodopa and 5-hydroxytryptophan were up-regulated in the hippocampal tissues of diabetic rats treated with YQBS. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that YQBS has protective effects against diabetic cognitive dysfunction, which might act through alteration in tyrosine and tryptophan metabolism.
