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

backgroundTo explore the effects of Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHWD) on neurons in the red nucleus of rats with spinal cord injury (SCI) based on autophagy.

methods120 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: Control Group, SCI Group, Bafilomycin A1 Group, Rapamycin Group, BYHWD low-dose group (BL Group, 6.25 g/kg), BYHWD high-dose group (BH Group, 25.00 g/kg), with 20 animals in each group. A rat rubrospinal tract (RST) transection model was established and treated for 28 days. The recovery of motor function of rats was observed through inclined plate test and spontaneous upright exploratory behavior test. Nissl's staining was used to observe the cell morphology of injured red nucleus neurons. Reverse Transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of ATG5 and Beclin1 mRNA. The Western blot method was used to observe the expression levels of Synaptophysin (SYP), Synaptosomal-associated Protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25), Postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95), ATG5, and Beclin1 proteins in red nucleus tissue.

resultsCompared with the SCI group, both BL and BH groups significantly improved the forelimb motor function and improved the status of red nucleus neurons in SCI rats. BYHWD increased SYP, SNAP-25, PSD-95, and decreased the red core Beclin1 and ATG5.

conclusionsBYHWD enhances synaptic regeneration and limb activity in red nucleus neurons of SCI rats by inhibiting autophagy.
