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

objectiveThis study investigated the effects and mechanisms of Suanzao Ren Decoction on anxiety symptoms of chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) model rats.

methodsA rat model of anxiety was established using chronic unpredictable stress. The open field test and elevated cross maze were used to evaluate the anxiety state of rats. The Morris water maze was used to evaluate the cognitive function of rats. HE staining was used to analyze the histopathological changes of the hippocampus. The protein expression of 5-HT

resultsThe treatment with Suanzao Ren Decoction significantly prolonged the total distance of spontaneous movement in rats, increased the percentage of open arm entry times, the percentage of open arm retention time, the retention time at the platform position, and the number of platform crossings, and shortened the escape latency period of rats. In addition, the treatment with Suan Zao Ren Decoction significantly improved the pathological damage in the CA1 area of the hippocampus, significantly increased the levels of SOD, CAT, GSH, 5-HT, and TPH-2, reduced the level of MDA, and significantly decreased the protein expressions of 5-HT

conclusionSuanzao Ren Decoction relieved anxiety behavior in CUS rats, and its mechanism may be related to improving cognitive dysfunction and inhibiting oxidative stress and autophagy.
