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

Excitotoxicity caused by excessive concentration of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate causes neuronal cell death and promotes neurodegenerative disorders. The neuroexcitant neurotoxin kainic acid (KA) induces excitotoxicity, leading to neuronal death via oxidative stress and inflammation, and its experimental use is widespread. This study was designed to determine the protective effect of Troxerutin (TXR) and its relationship with Galectin-3 (Gal-3) in experimental excitotoxicity with neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. Fifty male Wistar rats were divided into five groups (n = 10): Control group rats received intraperitoneal (ip) normal saline for 6 days. Sham group rats received a single dose of intracerebroventricular (icv) normal saline on the first day. KA group rats were treated with a single dose of KA; icv-0.5 μg/μl). TXR group rats treated with TXR for 6 days: ip-100 mg/kg) and KA + TXR group rats treated with KA (single dose) and TXR (6 days). It was observed that malondialdehyde (MDA) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) levels increased and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels decreased in the cerebral cortex of rats with KA neurotoxicity. TXR treatment caused a significant improvement in MDA and GSH levels and a significant decrease in IL-1β levels in rats with the excitotoxicity model. Gal-3 expressions in the hippocampus and cerebellum increased in KA-treated rats, whereas TXR treatment decreased Gal-3 expressions. In addition, histopathological changes caused by KA administration showed improvement in TXR-treated groups. In conclusion, the findings showed that TXR treatment attenuated KA-induced neurotoxicity by reducing oxidative tissue damage, inflammatory response and Gal-3 expression.
