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

Cyclophosphamide (CPM), an alkylating agent is used as an immunosuppressant in rheumatoid arthritis and in the treatment of several cancers as well. In this study, Ellagic acid (EA), a naturally occurring plant polyphenol, was evaluated for its antigenotoxicity and antioxidant efficacy against the CPM-induced renal oxidative stress and genotoxicity in Swiss albino mice. The mice were given a prophylactic treatment of EA orally at a dose of 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight (b wt) for seven consecutive days before the administration of a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of CPM at 50 mg/kg b wt. The modulatory effects of EA on CPM-induced nephrotoxicity and genotoxicity were investigated by assaying oxidative stress biomarkers, serum kidney toxicity markers, DNA fragmentation, alkaline unwinding assay, micronuclei (MN) assay, and by histopathological examination of kidney tissue. A single intraperitoneal administration of CPM in mice increased malondialdehyde level with depletion in glutathione content, antioxidant enzymes activities, viz. glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, catalase, quinone reductase, induced DNA strand breaks, and MN induction. EA oral administration at both doses caused significant reduction in their levels, restoration in the activities of antioxidant enzymes, reduction in MN formation, and DNA fragmentation. Serum toxicity marker enzymes like BUN, creatinine, and LDH were also increased after CPM treatment which was significantly decreased in EA pretreated groups. Present findings suggest a prominent role of EA against CPM-induced renal injury, DNA damage, and genotoxicity.
