The Metabolic Profile of Plasma During Epileptogenesis in a Rat Model of Lithium-Pilocarpine-Induced Temporal Lobe Epilepsy.

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
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) arises mostly because of an initial injury. Certain stimuli can make a normal brain prone to repeated, spontaneous seizures via a process called epileptogenesis. This study examined the plasma metabolomics profile in rats with the induced TLE to identify feasible biomarkers that can distinguish progression of epileptogenesis in three different time points and reveal the underlying mechanisms of epileptogenesis. Status epilepticus (SE) was induced by repetitive intraperitoneal injections of low-dose lithium chloride-pilocarpine hydrocholoride. Blood samples were collected 48 h, 1 week, and 6 weeks after SE, respectively. Plasma metabolites were analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometry. Statistical analysis was performed using MetaboAnalyst 6.0. An orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) model was employed to represent variations between the TLE model groups and respective controls. Volcano plot analysis was used to identify key features, applying a fold-change criterion of 1.5 and a t-test threshold of 0.05. 48 h after SE, dimethyl sulfone (DMSO
