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

objectivesTo explore the effect of ligustrazine phosphate tablets combined with cerebroside carnosine on neurological function and serum inflammatory factors among patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease.

methodsThis was a quasi-experimental study. From March 2019 to February 2022, 126 patients were non-randomly divided into control (n = 63) and intervention (n = 63) groups. The control group received routine treatment such as encephaloside and carnosine, while the intervention group was treated with ligustrazine phosphate tablets and brain glycoside carnosine for 2 weeks. Serum S-100β protein, nerve growth factor (NGF), inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and C-reactive protein (CRP)], National Institutes of Health Stroke scale (NIHSS) and and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale were assessed before and after the intervention.

resultsAfter treatment, the level of S-100β in the intervention group was lower, and the level of NGF was significantly higher than in the control group. The levels of TNF-α and CRP in the intervention group were reduced. The NIHSS score of the intervention group was lower, and the ADL score was significantly higher than that of the control group.

conclusionsThe combination of ligustrazine phosphate tablets with cerebroside carnosine can improve neurological function, alleviate inflammation, and enhance the quality of life, worthy of clinical promotion.
