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

backgroundDuring acute ischemic stroke, a cascade of pathophysiological reactions leads to brain cell injury, primarily via disruptions in energy metabolism and increased oxidative stress. In this study, we scrutinized the neuroprotective effects of bryodulcosigenin (BRY) against acute cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (CIR) injury in rats. MATERIAL AND

methodsTo induce middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats, a nylon monofilament suture with a silicon-coated tip was inserted into the internal carotid artery. The cerebral infarct volume, brain water content, neurological deficits, brain edema, Evan Blue extravasation and blood brain barrier (BBB) leakage were estimated. The antioxidant, cytokines, inflammatory and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) parameters were evaluated. mRNA expression and histopathological study were performed.

resultsBryodulcosigenin significantly suppressed the neurological deficits, cerebral infarct volume, brain edema, brain water content, BBB leakage and Evan Blue extravasation. It also suppressed brain injury markers like K

conclusionBryodulcosigenin exerted anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects against CIR injury via alteration of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathways.
