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

This study was aimed to investigate the efficacy of Thunbergia laurifolia leaf extract to protect hemolysis in mice infected with Plasmodium berghei. Aqueous leaf extract of T. laurifolia was freshly prepared, and total polyphenol was then measured using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent method. For in vivo test, ICR mice were given intraperitoneally with this extract (1,000 mg/kg) once a day for four consecutive days and subsequently inoculated with 1 × 10(6) parasitized erythrocytes of P. berghei ANKA by intraperitoneal injection for 8 days. The results showed that hemolysis was inhibited as indicated by %hematocrit (%Hct) which was normal in infected mice treated with T. laurifolia extract. Untreated and pyrimethamine-treated controls showed decreasing %Hct. Moreover, no any toxic signs were observed in normal mice treated with this extract. We conclude that T. laurifolia leaf extract clearly protects hemolysis during P. berghei infection in mice.
