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

backgroundTraditional Oriental Medicines (TOMs) formulated using a variety of medicinal plants have a low risk of side effects. In previous studies, five TOMs, namely

objectiveThis study aimed to examine the effect of five TOMs on various tau pathologies, including post-translational modifications, aggregation and deposition, tau-induced neurotoxicity, and tau-induced neuroinflammation.

methodsImmunocytochemistry was used to investigate the hyperphosphorylation of tau induced by okadaic acid. In addition, the thioflavin T assay was used to assess the effects of the TOMs on the inhibition of tau K18 aggregation and the dissociation of tau K18 aggregates. Moreover, a water-soluble tetrazolium-1 assay and a quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction were used to evaluate the effects of the TOMs on tau-induced neurotoxicity and inflammatory cytokines in HT22 and BV2 cells, respectively.

resultsThe five TOMs investigated in this study significantly reduced okadaic acid-induced tau hyperphosphorylation.

conclusionOur results suggest that five TOMs are potential therapeutic candidates for tau pathology. In particular,
