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

Background: Cedrol, a sesquiterpene alcohol, is found in a high amount in several conifers. It possess several beneficial health effects, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Objective: This study evaluates the neuroprotective role of cedrol against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced neuroinflammation and memory loss in rats. Methods: Wistar rats were treated with cedrol (7.5, 15, and 30 mg/kg, oral, two weeks). During the last week, the rats (except for the control group) were treated with LPS (intraperitoneal injection, 1 mg/kg) to induce memory impairment. After that, the animals were subjected to behavioral studies (Morris water maze and passive avoidance) and biochemical assessments. Results: Our results showed a significant decrease in learning and memory function-in LPS-induced rats which were reversed by cedrol. Also, there was a significant increase in the cerebral levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and malondialdehyde (MDA) as well as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in LPS-treated rats. Besides, a significant reduction in total thiol and superoxide dismutase levels was observed in LPS-treated rats. However, cedrol significantly decreased the brain level of AChE, TNF-α, and IL-1β. Administration of cedrol also restored the oxidative stress markers. Conclusion: the beneficial effects of cedrol against LPS-induced memory impairment could be due to antioxidant activities and modulation of neuro-inflammatory mediators.
