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

objectivesThe study aimed to explore the effects of EGb761 on vascular dementia (VD) rats and the mechanisms of action.

methodsThe Morris water maze test was utilized to assess the spatial learning and memory abilities of the rats; Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining and electron microscopy were used to observe changes in hippocampal neuron cells; Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expression of cleaved caspase-3 and microtubule-associated proteins light chain 3 (LC3-II) positive cells in hippocampal neurons; immunofluorescence staining was carried out to determine the immunofluorescence intensity of IRGM in hippocampal neurons; western blotting was used to measure the expression of related proteins.

resultsEGb761 significantly improved the cognitive function of vascular dementia rats (P < 0.01) and reduced the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons.Furthermore, EGb761 suppressed ROS, thereby promoting the expression of proteins related to the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and inhibiting the expression of C-Jun N-terminal Kinase (p-JNK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-c-JUN), Protein 53 (P53), immunity-related GTPase M (IRGM), Transcription Factor EB (TFEB), microtubule-associated proteins light chain 3 (LC3), Lysosomal Associated Membrane Protein 1 (LAMP1), and Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1).

conclusionsGinkgo Biloba Extract 761 (EGb761) mediated the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to inhibit apoptosis and autophagy in hippocampal neurons in VD rats.
