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
Acupuncture has obvious therapeutic effect on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). miR-34a-5p regulated by acupuncture was found to attenuate neurological deficits in ICH. However, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Ubiquitin-like 4A (UBL4A) has not been studied in ICH. SD rats were injected with autologous blood to induce ICH and treated with Baihui-penetrating-Qubin acupuncture. Acupuncture resulted in an increase in forelimb placing test scores, and a decrease in corner test scores and brain water content of ICH rats. Histopathological examination showed that acupuncture inhibited ICH-induced inflammation, decreased damaged neurons and increased UBL4A expression. UBL4A overexpression increased cell viability, inhibited apoptosis, reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and increased manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) activity, mitochondrial membrane potential and mtDNA level in rat embryonic primary cortical neurons. miR-34a-5p knockdown increased UBL4A expression, apoptosis rate and ROS level in hemin-treated neurons. Dual luciferase assays showed that miR-34a-5p bound to UBL4A. Apoptotic cells and ROS level were increased in hemin-treated neurons with UBL4A and miR-34a-5p knockdown. We firstly demonstrate the inhibitory effect of UBL4A on neuronal apoptosis, and the regulation relationship between UBL4A and miR-34a-5p. This study provides a new candidate target for ICH treatment and more basis for elucidating the molecular mechanism of acupuncture. In the future, we will conduct a deeper exploration of the effects of UBL4A on ICH.
