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

backgroundThe Mongolian gerbil is an excellent laboratory animal for preparing the cerebral ischemia model due to its inherent deficiency in the circle of Willis. However, the low incidence and unpredictability of symptoms are caused by numerous complex variant types of the circle. Additionally, the lack of an evaluation system for the cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) model of gerbils has shackled the application of this model.

methodsWe created a symptom-oriented principle and detailed neurobehavioral scoring criteria. At different time points of reperfusion, we analyzed the alteration in locomotion by rotarod test and grip force score, infarct volume by triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining, neuron loss using Nissl staining, and histological characteristics using hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) straining.

resultsWith a successful model rate of 56%, 32 of the 57 gerbils operated by our method harbored typical features of cerebral I/R injury, and the mortality rate in the male gerbils was significantly higher than that in the female gerbils. The successfully prepared I/R gerbils demonstrated a significant reduction in motility and grip strength at 1 day after reperfusion; formed obvious infarction; exhibited typical pathological features, such as tissue edema, neuronal atrophy and death, and vacuolated structures; and were partially recovered with the extension of reperfusion time.

conclusionThis study developed a new method for the unilateral common carotid artery ligation I/R model of gerbil and established a standardized evaluation system for this model, which could provide a new cerebral I/R model of gerbils with more practical applications.
