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 Ischemic cerebrovascular disease leads to the activation and differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) into mature neurons and glia cells to repair nerve damage. Astragalus flavone (ASF) has shown its potential role in proliferation and differentiation into dopamine neurons of NSCs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Cerebral infarction models were constructed to determine the effects of ASF on NSCs in vivo and in vitro. RESULTS ASF therapy had the ability to reduce the neurologic function scores and the cerebral infarction volume of the cerebral infarction model. Moreover, ASF was able to increase BrdU-positive cells and promote the expression of Nestin, ß-Tubulin III, and O4, while decreasing the expression of GFAP. qRT-PCR and western blot assays showed ASF promoted the expression of Mash1, Math1, and Ngn2 mRNA and protein in cerebral infarction rats. Meanwhile, ASF (20 μg/ml) was able to increase EdU-positive cells and promote the expression of Nestin, ß-Tubulin III, and O4 of NSCs at day14 in vitro. In normoxia, ASF obviously promoted the expression of Mash1, Ngn1, and Ngn2 mRNA and proteins, but in hypoxia, ASF promoted the expression of Notch1 and Math1 mRNA and proteins and inhibited the expression of Ngn1 and Ngn2 mRNA and proteins. CONCLUSIONS ASF therapy can improve the neurologic functions and reduce the cerebral infarction volume in a cerebral infarction model. Moreover, ASF promoted the proliferation of NSCs and induced differentiation into neurons and oligodendrocytes, which might be involved in regulating factors in Notch signaling.
