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

aimTo explore the protective effects and mechanisms of naringenin (NRG) on hepatic injury induced by isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF).

methodsMale mice were randomly divided into four groups and treated for 14 d as follows: normal control group was administered intragastrically with normal saline solution alone; model group was administered intragastrically with INH (100 mg/kg) and RIF (100 mg/kg); low- and high-dosage NRG pretreatment groups were administered intragastrically with different doses of NRG (50 or 100 mg/kg) 2 h before INH and RIF challenge. Mice were killed 16 h after the last dose of drug treatment to determine activity of serum transaminases. Oxidative stress was evaluated by measuring hepatic glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. Histopathological changes in hepatic tissue were observed under the optical microscope. Hepatocyte apoptosis was measured by TUNEL assay and caspase-3 activation. Expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in liver was determined by western blot.

resultsBoth low- and high-dosage NRG pretreatment obviously alleviated serum levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, liver index, hepatic MDA content, and increased hepatic GSH content and SOD activity compared with the INH and RIF-treated group (44.71 ± 8.15 U/L, 38.22 ± 6.64 U/L

conclusionNRG might attenuate INH- and RIF-induced hepatic injury
