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

Anchusa italica Retz. (AIR), a traditional herbal remedy, is commonly applied in managing heart and brain disorders. However, its specific function and mechanism in acute cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) are not fully understood. This research focused on the interventional effects and potential mechanisms of AIR extract (AIRE) in a rat model of CIRI. The model was established using the filament occlusion method, which involved blocking the middle cerebral artery for 1.5 h and then removing the filament to restore blood flow. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses were conducted to explore the molecular pathways and metabolites affected by AIRE. ATP level was measured using an ATP assay kit. Additionally, RT-qPCR and western blot tests were conducted to evaluate the influence of AIRE on the Wnt signaling pathway and mitochondrial function. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses indicated that AIRE regulated the Wnt signaling pathway in CIRI and modulated metabolites associated with mitochondrial energy metabolism, such as citrate and succinate. ATP assay result demonstrated that AIRE enhanced ATP production in CIRI. Further, RT-qPCR and western blot analyses revealed that AIRE activated the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and corrected mitochondrial dysfunction. These results proposed that AIRE mitigated mitochondrial energy metabolism deficits in CIRI via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. By restoring the balance of mitochondrial function and energy metabolism, AIRE might offer a potentially therapeutic strategy for addressing CIRI.
