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

contextHesperidin (HSP), a flavanoglycone found in citrus fruits, has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties.

objectiveThis study evaluates the protective effect of HSP on l-methionine-induced hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) in rats. MATERIALS AND

methodsMale Wistar rats were randomly divided into seven groups as DMSO, l-methionine, HSP (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg), HSP-per se (100 mg/kg) and donepezil (0.1 mg/kg). HHcy was induced by oral administration of l-methionine (1.7 g/kg) for 32 days. From the 14

resultsHSP (100 mg/kg) treatment in l-methionine-treated rats exhibited significant (p < 0.001) dose-dependent activity and reduced behavioural deficits, brain acetylcholinesterase (25.99 ± 2.36 versus 10.73 ± 1.26 μmoles/mg), brain lipid peroxidation (15.25 ± 1.65 versus 6.18 ± 0.74 nM/mg), serum homocysteine (Hcy) (22.37 ± 0.30 versus 11.01 ± 1.01 μg/mL) and serum cholesterol (182.7 ± 2.15 versus 101.5 ± 2.76 mg/dL) and increased brain antioxidant levels. HSP significantly (p < 0.001) reduced endothelial dysfunction (ED) by abolishing the effect of l-methionine on acetylcholine-induced endothelial-dependent relaxation and increased serum nitrite and vascular nitric oxide bioavailability along with the restoration of histological aberrations.

conclusionHSP exerts a protective effect on HHcy by abrogating oxidative stress, ED and neurotoxicity.
