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

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition characterized by complex pathophysiological interactions involving oxidative stress (OS) and neuroinflammation. In this study, the neuroprotective effects of chalcone-based pyrazoline derivatives (CCA-326, CCA-334, CCD-326, and CCD-334) are investigated in a penicillin-induced epilepsy model in rats. The ELISE method is used to measure the effects of these compounds on the plasma and brain levels of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1), and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2). Total antioxidant status (TAS) and total oxidant status (TOS) were determined using colorimetric methods. CCA-326 and CCA-334 significantly reduces NF-κB, COX-2, and 5-LOX levels, increases NRF2 expression and TAS levels, and supports the activation of the endogenous antioxidant system by inducing a noticeable decrease in KEAP1 levels. These results suggest that CCA-334 stands out as a promising compound for further investigation targeting oxidative stress and inflammation in epilepsy, and that chalcone-based pyrazoline derivatives may modulate key inflammatory and redox pathways involved in epileptogenesis.
