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.
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
rationalPatients experience post-stroke cognitive impairment during aging. To date, no specific treatment solution has been reported for this disorder.
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of exercise training and coenzyme Q10 supplementation on middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) induced behavioral impairment, long-term potentiation inhibition and cerebral infarction size in aging rats.
methodsFifty aging male rats underwent MCAO surgery and were randomly distributed in to the following groups: 1-Sham, 2- control, 3- Coenzyme Q10, 4- Exercise training and 5- Exercise training with Q10 supplementation (Ex + Q10). Aerobic training groups were allowed to run on a treadmill for 12 weeks. Q10 (50 mg/kg) was administered intragastrically by gavage. Morris water maze, shuttle box and elevated plus maze tests were used to evaluate cognitive function. The population spike (PS) amplitude and slope of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSP) in the dentate gyrus area were recorded as a result of perforant pathway electrical stimulation.
resultsOur study showed that Q10 and aerobic training alone ameliorate spatial memory in the acquisition phase, but have no effect on spatial memory in the retention phase. Q10 and exercise training synergistically promoted spatial memory in the retention phase. Q10 and exercise training separately and simultaneously mitigated cerebral ischemia-induced passive avoidance memory impairment in acquisition and retention phases. The EPSP did not differ between the groups, but exercise training and Q10 ameliorate the PS amplitude in hippocampal responses to perforant path stimulation. Exercising and Q10 simultaneously reduced the cerebral infarction volume.
conclusionCollectively, the findings of the present study imply that 12 weeks of aerobic training and Q10 supplementation alone can simultaneously reverse cerebral ischemia induced neurobehavioral deficits via amelioration of synaptic plasticity and a reduction in cerebral infarction volume in senescent rats.
