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

In this study, we assessed the ability of 2-Cl-MGV-1 (2-chlorophenyl quinazolin-4-yl, dimethyl carbamate), a ligand of the 18 kDa mitochondrial translocator protein (TSPO), to mitigate brain damage in a mouse model of traumatic brain injury (TBI). TSPO is important for arresting the death of neurons and glia and counteracting microglial activation, and it provides anti-inflammatory activity, promotes regeneration (including neurons), and contributes to angiogenesis. We assessed the minimal dose of the TSPO ligand 2-Cl-MGV-1 that attenuates the magnitude of brain damage as well as the time window following TBI in which the treatment is effective. We found that 7.5 mg/kg of 2-Cl-MGV-1 can reduce the impact of the TBI as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We also found that 2-Cl-MGV-1 improved motor performance as observed in a treadmill test (80.9% fewer shocks needed and 40.7% more distance covered, both
