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

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism of Zhilong Huoxue Tongyu (ZL) capsule on the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In this study, ICH model was established to assess the neuroprotective efficacy of ZL capsule. The ICH-induced neurological deficits were analyzed by behavioral studies including Zea-Longa score, Neurological Severity Score, Open filed test, Y-maze test, Morris water maze, Rotarod test and pathological staining such as HE staining and Nissl staining. Perls staining was used to measure iron deposition after ICH. Malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) assay kits were performed to measure the level of lipid peroxide after ICH. The levels of oxidative stress-related targets were verified by quantitative real-time PCR and western blot. This study demonstrated that ZL capsule treatment significantly reduced ICH-induced neurological deficits after ICH, improved the memory learning functions of rats and attenuated ICH‑Induced neuron damage in rats. After ICH, oxidative stress in brain tissue increased and ZL capsule could alleviate the pathological state of oxidative stress. The SOD and GSH activities were dramatically increased after the treatment of ZL capsule compared with the Ns group, while the content of MDA was markedly decreased after treatment with ZL capsule compared with Ns group. After ICH, the SLC40A1, SLC7A11, SESN2 and GPX4 mRNA in brain tissue increased, and the NOX4 and TFR1 mRNA in brain tissue decreased after the treatment of ZL capsule. Proteomics analysis also confirmed these results. Our data suggested that ZL capsule showed a neuroprotective function after ICH and alleviated ICH induced neurological deficits in rats. The possible mechanism may be that ZL capsule inhibits iron deposition and lipid peroxidation, lessening oxidative stress in brain tissue. This study offers new insights into how the ZL capsule affects ICH at the molecular level and could be conducive to developing therapeutic drugs for ICH and traditional Chinese medicine.
