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

backgroundToluene is widely used in different activities of industrial, commercial and household applications. It can cause damage to the human body. Buffalos' milk has a good nutritive value.

objectivesThe aim of this study is to examine the negative effects of toluene on kidney tissues and to investigate the protective effects of buffalo's milk against toluene-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. MATERIALS AND

methodsForty adult male Wistar rats (180-220 g weight) were randomly assigned to eight groups (n = 5). Animals in groups I to IV received oral gavage 1 mL distilled water (DH

resultsAdministration of toluene to male rats produced dose-dependent damage in the kidney. This was noted by elevation of BUN, Cr and MDA levels. In contrast, diminished the CAT, GR and SOD enzyme activities in rats treated with toluene when compared to those in control animals. Histopathological manifestations were also observed in dose related manner in toluene-treated rats. Buffalo's milk had no effect on the biochemical parameters and kidney morphology when compared to those in control. However, it was able to prevent rat kidney against toluene toxicity.

conclusionsThe results of this study demonstrated that toluene damages kidney tissue and is a nephrotoxic substance. Buffalo's milk was able to prevent the renal damage as an antioxidant and a nephroprotective agent.
