Auricular acupuncture plays a neuroprotective role in 6-hydroxydopamine-induced Parkinson's disease in rats.

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
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second-most common neurodegenerative disease. Currently, PD treatment is symptomatic and involves the use of dopamine-based therapies. This study investigated auricular acupuncture on motor and cognitive abilities in rats with 6-OHDA-induced PD. Methods: A PD rat model was established by bilaterally injecting 6-OHDA into the lateral dorsal striatum. Then, 2- or 15-Hz auricular electroacupuncture (EA) was applied to the auricular CO15 and CO12 points bilaterally for 20 min three times a week for four consecutive weeks. Results: Both the latency to fall and rest time of the open field test in the EA15 group were greater than in the 6-OHDA group ( Conclusion: According to the results, rats with 6-OHDA-induced PD may benefit from auricular EA in terms of motor and cognitive behavior as well as neuroprotection.
