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: Spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a serious condition that can develop after spinal and thoracoabdominal surgeries or spinal cord traumas. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different administration routes of ozone on testicular tissue in rats with spinal cord ischemia and reperfusion injury. Methods: Rats were divided into five groups (n:5): control (C), ischemia-reperfusion (IR), IR-rectal ozone (IR+RO), IR-intratechal ozone (IR+ITO), and IR-intraperitoneal (i.p) ozone (IR+IPO). Ozone-oxygen mixture was administered 30 minutes before midline laparotomy: 1 mg/kg (50 µg/mL) by rectal insufflation to the IR+RO group, 20 µL (20 µg/mL) intratechally to the IR+ITO group, and 0.7 µg/kg (50 µg/mL) intraperitoneally to the IR+IPO group. The spinal cord IR model was established. The testicular tissue was collected for histopathological and biochemical analyses. Results: The Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) activities were significantly lower in the IR+RO, IR+ITO, and IR+IPO groups than in the IR group. Catalase (CAT) was significantly higher in the IR+ITO and IR+IPO groups than in the IR group. While the Cosentino score was significantly higher in the IR group than in the C group (p<0.001), it was significantly lower in the IR+RO, IR+ITO and IR+IPO groups than in the IR group (p<0.001, all). Conclusion: Ozone can regulate the negative effects of IRI by regulating cellular oxidative stress mechanisms. This effect can be achieved most effectively on testis tissue in the spinal cord IRI model through intrathecal and intraperitoneal administration.
