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

Background and aim: Experimental procedure: After five-week of stress, Results: Treatment with doses of formulated PC-CMR reversed sucrose preference and increased amount of time spent on the open arms in rat behavioral tests. The formulated PC-CMR significantly reduced glutamate content and turnover rates of serotonin and dopamine in the prefrontal cortex of rats. In the inflammation-related pathway, PC-CMR decreased interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels in serum and downregulated the expression of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) in the prefrontal cortex and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) in the amygdala. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the formulated PC-CMR could have antidepressive and anxiolytic effects by modulating neurotransmitter levels and reducing inflammation.
