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

Chronic administration of Bacopa monnieri extract exerts neuroprotective potential in multiple animal models of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), depression, and other cognitive impairments. However, the underlying mechanism of action remained unclear. Rotenone model of PD holds a great potential for investigating PD pathology and motor and nonmotor symptoms. Herein, we evaluated the neuroprotective effect of Bacopaside-I (BS-I), a major triterpenoid saponin of Bacopa monnieri extract, against rotenone-induced in vivo model of PD and explored the possible molecular mechanism. Rats were exposed to rotenone (2 mg/kg body weight) for a period of 4 consecutive weeks to induce PD-like behavior. BS-I (5, 15, and 45 mg/kg) was administered orally. Behavioral data (rotarod, foot printing, and grip strength test) suggest that BS-I plays a significant role in attenuating the motor function deficit. Exposure to rotenone reduces the dopamine level and increases oxidative stress, while BS-I treatment reversed these changes. Furthermore, chronic administration of BS-I increased the expression levels of dopamine transporter (DAT) and vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT) genes and the numbers of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons as compared to rotenone-exposed animals. Our study established the neuroprotective role of BS-I in PD model and laid the foundation for further evaluation of BS-I-based drug in future studies.
