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

Elevated manganese (Mn) exposure has been implicated in a broad spectrum of neurological disorders, including motor dysfunction and cognitive deficits. Previous studies have demonstrated that Mn induces neurotoxicity by disrupting the integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), a critical regulator in maintaining central nervous system homeostasis and a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of numerous neurological disorders. However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying Mn-induced BBB disruption and its role in facilitating neurotoxicity remain incompletely understood. The primary objectives of this study were to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the relationship between Mn exposure and BBB tight junction proteins (TJPs), and to further investigate potential neuroprotective strategies for mitigating Mn-induced cognitive impairments. In this investigation, we developed Mn exposure models utilizing both murine subjects and cell culture systems to elucidate the mechanisms underlying TJPs involvement and to assess the potential neuroprotective effects of gastrodin (GAS), a bioactive compound extracted from traditional Chinese medicine. Our findings revealed a significant reduction in TJPs expression, both
