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

Objective: Disruption of calcium (Ca Material and Methods: Mouse hippocampal neurons (HT22 cells) served as an in vitro model. Cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 assay. Intracellular Ca Results: Propofol exposure at 10 μM and 50 μM across all time points (2, 6, or 24 hours) showed no significant impact on cell viability. Similarly, 100 μM propofol lacked toxicity at 2 or 6 hours, but survival significantly declined after 24 hours exposure ( Conclusion: Propofol induces cytotoxicity in HT22 cells in a concentration- or time-dependent manner. Notably, cytotoxicity at 100 μM propofol was observed only after 24 hours of exposure, whereas 200 μM propofol produced rapid cytotoxicity. This rapid toxicity is mediated by activation of GABA
