Protective effect of quercetin on liver damage induced by biliary obstruction in rats.
Article in Journal of molecular histology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible protective effects of quercetin (QE) against cholestatic oxidative stress and liver damage in the common bile duct ligated rats. A total of 24 male Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups: control, bile duct ligation (BDL) and BDL + received QE; each group contain 8 animals. The rats in QE treated groups were given QE (15 mg/kg) once a day intraperitoneally for 4 weeks starting 3 days prior to BDL operation. The changes demonstrating the bile duct proliferation and fibrosis in expanded portal tracts include the extension of proliferated bile ducts into lobules, mononuclear cells, and neutrophil infiltration into the widened portal areas were observed in BDL group. Treatment of BDL with QE attenuated alterations in liver histology. The alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β1) positive cells and the activity of TUNEL in the BDL were observed to be reduced with the QE treatment. The data indicate that QE attenuates BDL-induced cholestatic liver injury, bile duct proliferation, and fibrosis. The hepatoprotective effect of QE is associated with antioxidative potential.
