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

Microglial activation and sustained inflammation plays an important role in the processes of early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Sinomenine (SIN) has been demonstrated to have neuroprotective effects in the traumatic brain injury (TBI) model. However, the role of SIN in SAH-induced EBI and its latent mechanisms remain unclear. This study was carried out to explore the role of SIN on SAH-induced EBI and its effects on the microglial inflammatory response following SAH. In this study, a model of SAH in rats was established. Modified neurological severity scores (mNSS), encephaledema, and Nissl staining were employed to determine the effects of SIN. Western blot and immunofluorescence analysis were performed to evaluate nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression. Nrf2-related downstream proteins, including heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and quinine oxidoreductase-1 (NQO-1), were detected with immunohistochemistry analyses and Real-Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR). Microglia activation and associated inflammatory factors, factor-kappa B (NF-κB), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6), were assessed after SAH. The results showed that SIN administration improved neurobehavior function, and attenuated neural apoptosis and brain edema after SAH. In addition, SIN inhibited microglial action and the subsequent inflammatory response after SAH through the upregulated expression of HO-1 and NQO-1 via activation of the Nrf2 pathway. These results demonstrated that SIN supplementation provided protection against SAH-induced neuronal apoptosis by microglial inflammatory response regulation and possible involvement of the Nrf2 pathway.
