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

Cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury (CIRI) involves mitochondrial dysfunction, with mitophagy playing a key role. Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) shows neuroprotective potential; however, its mechanisms related to mitochondrial function and apoptosis remain unclear.

methodsUsing a rat MCAO/R model, we evaluated the AS-IV's effects via neurological scores, TTC staining, and histopathology. Molecular assays and docking were used to analyze mitophagy (PINK1, Parkin, p62, ROS, Bcl-2, and BAX) and apoptosis markers.

resultsAS-IV improved neurological function, reduced infarct volume, and alleviated neuronal/mitochondrial damage. It upregulated PINK1/Parkin, decreased p62, and modulated Bcl-2/Bax. Docking confirmed AS-IV binds PINK1/Parkin with high affinity.

conclusionsAS-IV protects against CIRI by regulating the PINK1/Parkin pathway, improving mitochondrial function, and inhibiting neuronal apoptosis, providing an experimental basis for the clinical use.
