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: This investigation aims to elucidate the role of NO in the anticonvulsant effects of Geraniol (GER) using a mouse model of pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures. Methods: Mice were allocated into ten groups, including a control group receiving normal saline. The treatment groups received GER (10, 20, 30, and 40 mg/kg), L-NAME (10 mg/kg), L-arginine (L-arg) at 150 mg/kg, a sub-effective dose of GER (10 mg/kg) combined with L-NAME, and an effective dose of GER (40 mg/kg) plus L-arg, respectively. All drugs were administered Results: GER prolonged the seizure threshold and reduced serum and PFC nitrite levels. Also, it downregulated the gene expression of Conclusion: GER exhibits anticonvulsant properties by modulating the nitrergic system, increasing seizure latency, and reducing NO production. This suggests its potential as a therapeutic candidate for seizure management.
