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

objectiveTo investigate the relationship between secondary brain injury and intestinal injury in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and whether escin can protect the function of the intestine and inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS) entry into the blood, thereby attenuating brain injury after ICH.

methodsMice were injected stereotactically with collagenase to establish a model of ICH. The Garcia test, forelimb placement test, brain water content, blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, intestinal injury, intestinal permeability, and serum LPS levels were evaluated. The ICH mice were treated with escin to investigate the effect of escin on intestinal injury and neurological function.

resultsThe severity of secondary brain injury was highly correlated with the degree of intestinal injury. After administering escin, intestinal injury was significantly alleviated, intestinal permeability was markedly reduced, and LPS blood levels were significantly decreased. Additionally, results from the Garcia and forelimb placement tests showed significant improvement. However, intraperitoneal injection of LPS, simulating the entry of LPS into the bloodstream due to intestinal injury, weakened the neuroprotective effects of escin without affecting its intestinal protective effects.

conclusionsThe ICH-induced brain injury caused intestinal barrier damage, resulting in LPS in the gut to enter blood circulation, which subsequently disrupted the BBB. Therefore, LPS plays an important role in ICH-induced secondary brain injury. Escin exerts its neuroprotective effect by attenuating gut injury following ICH.
