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

backgroundOne of the possible ways to increase the effectiveness of drugs based on gamma-aminobutyric acid derivatives is to introduce biologically active acids into their structure. In this regard, the compositions of phenibut with organic acids, which have a more pronounced psychotropic activity, low toxicity, and good tolerability, are of interest. The purpose of this study is to experimentally substantiate the use of phenibut combinations with organic acids in various forms of cerebral ischemia.

methodsThe study was performed on 1210 male Wistar rats weighing 180-220 g each. The cerebroprotective activities of phenibut combinations with salicylic acid (2:1, doses of 15, 30, and 45 mg/kg), nicotinic acid (2:1, doses of 25, 50, and 75 mg/kg), and glutamic acid (2:1, doses of 25, 50, and 75 mg/kg) have been studied. The study involved a single prophylactic administration of phenibut combinations with organic acids and a 7 days course of the combination treatment administered at doses that proved the most effective according to the results of a single prophylactic administration. The rate of local cerebral blood flow and the vasodilating function of cerebral endothelium were measured, and the researchers evaluated the effects of the studied phenibut combinations on biochemical parameters in rats with focal ischemia.

resultsCompositions of phenibut with salicylic, nicotinic, and glutamic acids in subtotal and transient cerebral ischemia were found to have the most pronounced cerebroprotective effect in doses of 30, 50 and 50 mg/kg, respectively. Under reversible 10 min occlusion of the common carotid arteries, prophylactic administration of the studied phenibut compositions prevented a decrease in cerebral blood flow during ischemia and reduced the severity of postischemic hypoperfusion and hyperperfusion. At a course of 7 days of therapeutic administration of compounds, their pronounced cerebroprotective effect was observed.

conclusionsThe data obtained can be considered as promising the pharmacological search in this series of substances for the treatment of patients with cerebrovascular disease.
