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

Objectives: Ellagic acid (EA) is a natural polyphenol with anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and other effects. However, the role of EA in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (CIRI) remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the neuroprotective effects of EA in CIRI. Materials and Methods: Forty male Wistar rats (260-300 g) were randomly divided into four groups with 10 rats per group: 1) Sham+Veh: Rats underwent I/R surgery, except that they were not inserted with thread plugs, and received solute treatment at the same time. 2) MCAO/R+Veh. 3) MCAO/R+EA: Rats were administered 200 mg/kg EA before undergoing MCAO. 4) MCAO/R+Nim: Rats were administered Nim before undergoing MCAO. Results: Cerebral MCAO/R damaged brain tissue, elevated neurological deficit score ( Conclusion: EA may serve as a potential drug for the treatment of brain I/R, which may exert an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the activation of the inflammasome.
