The Potential Therapeutic Effects of Tadalafil on the Endothelium in a Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Animal Model: Insights from Immunohistochemical Staining.
Article in Current issues in molecular biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study investigated the potential of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors, specifically tadalafil, in preventing the delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) post-rupture of cerebral aneurysms. A total of 19 rabbits were used in this study, divided into different treatment groups, including nimodipine alone, tadalafil alone, and a combination of nimodipine and tadalafil. Both nimodipine and tadalafil showed some impact on reducing endothelial apoptosis in the basilar arteries, although the effects were not statistically significant. Notably, the nimodipine group exhibited significantly lower levels of Bax in the small arterioles compared to the SAH group. These findings suggest that while tadalafil may not directly prevent endothelial cell death like nimodipine, its neuroprotective properties hint at its potential utility in DCI treatment. Further research involving a broader range of apoptosis-related proteins is recommended to enhance our understanding in this area.
