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: Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a major perinatal neurological disorder with limited objective early diagnostic markers, while conventional point resolved selective spectroscopy (PRESS)-based Methods: Six male newborn rats were used for making HIE model induced by unilateral common carotid artery ligation followed by hypoxia. Hippocampal damage in the HIE model rat was confirmed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. T2-weighted anatomical images and Results: SPECIAL MR spectra are feasible in newborn HIE rat brain corresponding to the ligation side with higher spectral resolution compared with PRESS spectra. Elevated levels of Tau and Cr + PCr were found in the right hippocampus by SPECIAL spectra (P<0.05), and increased levels of Cr + PCr, Lac + MM14 + Liq13, and decreased NAA were observed by PRESS spectra (P<0.05). More correlations between metabolites were found from SPECIAL spectra than PRESS spectra, including Tau and Cr + PCr (r=0.7, P<0.01), Glu + Gln and Cr + PCr (r=0.75, P<0.01), GPC + PCh and Cr + PCr (r=0.63, P<0.01), and Lac + MM14 + Liq13 and Cr + PCr (r=0.54, P=0.03). Conclusions: The use of SPECIAL sequences could provide more information on metabolic changes in the HIE rat brain, and Tau and Cr + PCr may be considered as reliable metabolic markers for earlier and accurate assessments of the damage of hypoxic-ischemic.
