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

Cedrol is a major bioactive compound present in the Cedrus atlantica with numerous biological properties. In this study, we elucidated the neuroprotective properties of cedrol against ischemic infarction in animal and in vitro studies. A cerebral ischemic/reperfusion model was induced in adult Wistar rats, and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion was induced in SH-SY5Y neuronal cells and treated with different concentrations of cedrol. The percentage of water content, cerebral  infarct, and neurological deficit score was assessed in experimental rats. The acetylcholinesterase activity and inflammatory cytokines were quantified to analyze the anti-inflammatory potency of cedrol. Oxidative stress marker malondialdehyde and antioxidants were quantified to evaluate the antioxidant potency of cedrol in an ischemic condition. The neuroprotective potency of cedrol was confirmed by histopathological analysis of the brain tissue of cedrol-treated I/R-induced rats. In in vitro studies, the MTT and LDH assays were performed in cedrol-treated OGD/R SH-SY5Y cells to analyze the cytoprotective effect of cedrol. The anti-inflammatory property of cedrol was confirmed by quantifying the pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in OGD/R-induced cedrol-treated SH-SY5Y cells. The results obtained prove that cedrol significantly prevents brain edema, neurological deficits, acetylcholinesterase activity, and oxidative damage in ischemic-induced rats. It inhibited neuroinflammation in ischemic-induced rats and also in in vitro models. The neuroprotective effect of cedrol during an ischemic condition was authentically established with histological analysis in an animal model and cell survival assays in an in vitro model. Overall, our results confirm that cedrol is a potent alternative drug to treat cerebral ischemia in the future.
