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

Object: This study explores Gallic acid's (GA) neuroprotective effects against spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury (SCII) and its underlying mechanisms. Methods: Spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury was induced in rats using the modified Zivin's method of clamping the abdominal aorta. The Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan scores, the inclined plane test, hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, and Nissl staining were used to measure locomotor activity and histological changes in the injured spinal cords. Proinflammatory factors (TNF-α and IL-1β) were examined using an ELISA kit. Moreover, In vitro oxidative stress model was induced by tBHP used to assess the cell survival rate, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. RT-qPCR and Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of mRNA and proteins. Results: In vitro, GA inhibited tBHP-induced apoptosis in PC-12 cells, reduced ROS and MDA production, and abolished the expression of pro-apoptotic factors while enhancing the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. In vivo, GA treatment improved the behavioral and structural aspects of SCII in rats, inhibiting the production of proinflammatory factors, also reduced oxidative stress, and prevented neuronal apoptosis by enhancing the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. Conclusions: GA exhibits neuroprotective effects against SCII, involving antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic activities through Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.
