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

backgroundSubarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is one of the most prevalent brain injuries in humans which has poor prognosis and high mortality rates. Due to several medical or surgical treatment methods, a gold standard method doesn't exist for SAH treatment. Piceatannol (PCN), a natural analog of resveratrol, was reported to reduce inflammation and apoptosis promising a wide range of therapeutic alternatives. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of PCN in an experimental SAH model. The alleviating effects of PCN in the hippocampus in an experimental SAH model were investigated for the first time. METHODS AND

resultsIn this study, 27 Wistar Albino male rats (200-300 g; 7-8 week) were used. Animals were divided into three groups; SHAM, SAH, and SAH + PCN. SAH model was created with 120 µl of autologous arterial tail blood to prechiasmatic cisterna. 30 mg/kg PCN was administered intraperitoneally at 1st h after SAH. Neurological evaluation was performed with Garcia's score. RT-PCR was performed for gene expression levels in the hippocampus. Pyknosis, edema, and apoptosis were evaluated by H&E and TUNEL staining. Our results indicated that PCN administration reduced apoptosis (P < 0.01), cellular edema, and pyknosis (P < 0.05) in the hippocampus after SAH. Moreover, PCN treatment significantly decreased the expression levels of TNF-α (P < 0.01), IL-6 (P < 0.05), NF-κB (P < 0.05), and Bax (P < 0.05) in the hippocampus.

conclusionsOur results demonstrated that PCN might be a potential therapeutic adjuvant agent for the treatment of early brain injury (EBI) following SAH. Further studies are required to clarify the underlying mechanisms and treatment options of SAH.
