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.
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
introductionNitrergic transmission and oxidative stress are complicated factors in the seizure's pathophysiology. Syringic acid has been revealed to exert numerous pharmacological properties, including neuroprotective effects. Hence, this research was designed to explore the anticonvulsant effects of syringic acid, focusing on its possible impact on nitrergic transmission and oxidative stress in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in mice that underwent induction of seizure using pentylenetetrazole (PTZ).
methodsForty male NMRI mice were randomly divided into five groups, including mice that received saline containing Tween 80 at a concentration of 1% (10 ml/kg), syringic acid at doses of 10, 20, and 30 mg/kg, and diazepam (10 mg/kg). Syringic acid was dissolved in saline containing Tween 80 at a concentration of 1%. All drugs were injected intraperitoneally one hour before seizure induction by PTZ. Seizure threshold, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), nitrite, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, as well as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) gene expressions, were assessed in the PFC.
resultsSyringic acid increased the seizure threshold and TAC, whereas it decreased MDA and nitrite levels in the PFC samples. Furthermore, syringic acid diminished the expression of iNOS and nNOS genes in the PFC. DISCUSSION: Oxidative/nitrosative stress, which is involved in the pathophysiology of seizure, was alleviated by syringic acid.
conclusionIt was concluded that, at least partially, the anticonvulsant property of syringic acid was mediated through the mitigation of oxidative stress and nitrergic transmission in the PFC in PTZ-induced seizures in male mice.
