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

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) poses a serious threat to public health due to its high disability and mortality rates. Therefore, it is crucial to explore effective therapeutic strategies. Studies have shown that reticuline may exert a cardioprotective effect by blocking the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, but its effect in TBI has not been explored. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the potential clinical value of reticuline after TBI and its impact on the inflammatory quiescent state. This study assessed the therapeutic effect of reticuline administered intraperitoneally using the controlled cortical impact (CCI) model in adult rats. In addition, to clarify the mechanism of action of reticuline, we used Colivelin, a STAT3 agonist, to restore the function of related signal pathways and explore its intervention effect. The study showed that reticuline inhibited neuroinflammation and promoted neurological function recovery after TBI by regulating the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, reducing the toxic response of astrocytes and microglia while retaining its neuroprotective effect. In summary, this study reveals that reticuline may promote neural repair after TBI through a JAK-STAT-dependent anti-inflammatory effect. Our findings further expand its potential application value in brain injury treatment and provide new ideas for intervention strategies for TBI.
