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

We studied the effect of melatonin in the original rectal suppositories on neurological status, microcirculation, and morphology of focal ischemic infarction in experimental acute cerebral ischemia modeled using the Chen technique (simultaneous diathermocoagulation of cerebral pial vessels in the posterior parts of the left frontal lobe and the anterior parts of the left parietal lobe). The animals of the experimental groups were administered either original rectal suppositories weighing 100 mg containing 2.5 mg of melatonin or a citicoline solution of 100 mg/kg intraperitoneally for 7 days. The neurological status was the Garcia and limb-placing test scores, microcirculation, and morphological parameters of the lesion on days 3 and 7. The use of original rectal suppositories reduced neurological deficits, increased the Garcia and limb-placing test scores, decreased the area of focal ischemic infarction, number of chromatolysis neurons, shadow cells, and an increase in the number of intact neurons and small vessels. The effects of original rectal suppositories with melatonin were significantly more pronounced than the effects of citicoline solution. The positive effect of melatonin in experimental acute cerebral ischemia was determined by its angiogenetic (formation of new blood vessels) and reparative (recovery of damaged neurons) effects.
