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

Early brain injury caused by subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with inflammatory response and ferroptosis. Curcumin alleviates neuroinflammation and oxidative stress by as yet unknown neuroprotective mechanisms. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of curcumin on neuronal ferroptosis and microglia-induced neuroinflammation following SAH. By examining Nrf2/HO-1 expression levels and ferroptosis biomarkers expression both in vitro and in vivo, it was demonstrated that curcumin effectively suppressed ferroptosis in neurons after SAH through modulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. Furthermore, by analyzing the expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1, p-p65, and inflammation-related genes, it was confirmed that curcumin could prevent the upregulation of pro-inflammatory factors following SAH by regulating the Nrf2/HO-1/NF-κB signaling pathway in microglia. The ability of curcumin to reduce neuronal damage and cerebral edemas after SAH in mice was validated using TUNEL staining, Nissl staining, and measurement of brain tissue water content. Additionally, through implementation of the modified Garcia test, open field test, and Y-maze test, it was established that curcumin ameliorated neurobehavioral impairments in mice post-SAH. Taken together, these data suggest that curcumin may offer a promising therapeutic approach for improving outcomes following SAH by concurrently attenuating neuronal ferroptosis and reducing neuroinflammation.
