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

Grounding, the practice of direct contact with the Earth's surface, has been explored for its potential to alleviate inflammation and neurotoxicity. Trimethyltin (TMT) is a potent neurotoxic compound known for inducing severe central nervous system damage, particularly neuronal death and neuroinflammation in the hippocampus, which is frequently used as an animal model to study neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer disease, due to its ability to induce oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and neurodegeneration. This study investigated the effect of a grounding mat on cognitive function, neuroinflammation, and neuroprotection in a TMT-induced neurotoxicity rats. Rats were divided into five groups: no grounding mat with saline (Nor), no grounding mat with TMT (Con), electric mat for 21 days with TMT (EM), grounding mat for 7 days with TMT (A-7D), and grounding mat for 21 days with TMT (A-21D). Cognitive function was assessed via the Y-maze test, while blood levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-4, prostaglandin E
