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

objectivesTo explore the correlation of hypertension with postoperative cognitive dysfunction and its possible mechanism.

methodsTwelve-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats were both randomized into control group and surgical group (

resultsThe SHRs exhibited exacerbated learning and memory deficits following the surgery as shown by significantly reduced performance in novel object recognition tests and context-related and tone-related fear conditioning experiments. Compared with WKY rats, the SHRs had significantly decreased mitochondrial UCP2 expression and MMP in the hippocampus, increased hippocampal ATP level, and markedly increased serum levels of ROS and inflammatory factors, showing also increased activation of hippocampal astrocytes and microglia and reduced number of neurons positive for Nissl staining.

conclusionsHypertension can exacerbate major postoperative learning and memory impairment in rats possibly as a result of UCP2-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress damage, which further leads to astrocyte overactivation and neuronal damage.
