Peimine promotes microglial polarization to the M2 phenotype to attenuate drug-resistant epilepsy through suppressing the TLR4/NF-κB/HIF-1α signaling pathway in a rat model and in BV-2 microglia.

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
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder. Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) accounts for about one-third of epilepsy patients worldwide. Peimine, a main active component of Fritillaria, has been reported to show anti-inflammatory effects. However, its potential therapeutic role in DRE is not yet fully understood. In this work, a DRE rat model was established by injecting 1 μg kainic acid (KA), followed by a 250 mg/kg administration of valproic acid (VPA) from day 4-31. Rats were treated with different doses of peimine (2.5 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) daily from day 32-62.
