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

backgroundHyperthyroidism is associated with liver oxidative stress causing liver dysfunction in many hyperthyroid patients. The hepatoprotective effect of Satureja Khuzestanica Essential Oil (SKEO), as herbal origin antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent on the hyperthyroidism induced hepatotoxicity and oxidative stress is investigated.

methodsAdult male sprague dawley rats were divided into categories of; control (group C), hyperthyroid (group H), hyperthyroid with olive oil (group H+O), hyperthyroid with vitamin E (group H+E), hyperthyroid with SKEO (group H+S), combination of hyperthyroid with vitamin E and SKEO (group H+S+E). Hepatoprotective and antioxidant properties of SKEO with or without vitamin E in hyperthyroid rats were then investigated.

resultsSerum Aspartate Transaminase (AST) and Alanine Transaminase (ALT) activities reduced significantly in H+O, H+E, H+S and H+S+E groups in comparison with hyperthyroid rats. Enzymes activities returned to normal in H+S+E group. Hepatic Malondialdehyde (MDA) was reduced in H+E, H+S and H+S+E groups in comparison with hyperthyroid rats. The most significant MDA reduction was in the H+S+E group. Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) and Glutathione Reductase (GR) activities increased in H+E, H+S and H+S+E groups in comparison with group H. The largest increment in GPx and GR activities were in the H+S+E group. Glutathione level did not change in any group in comparison with the control group.

conclusionAdministration of SKEO has hepatoprotective effect in hyperthyroid rats and is more effective when used in combination with vitamin E.
