Metabolomic evaluation of Euphorbia pekinensis induced nephrotoxicity in rats.
Article in Pharmaceutical biology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
contextEuphorbia pekinensis Rupr. (Euphorbiaceae) has long been used in the Orient, while its clinical use was limited due to its nephrotoxic effect.
objectiveThe possible mechanism of nephrotoxicity of Euphorbia pekinensis (EPR) and its related constituents were investigated. MATERIALS AND
methodsPetroleum ether (PE), acetic ether (AE) and n-butanol (BUT) extracted sections of EPR were separately given to Wistar rats by gavage at the dose of 3 g/kg/day for 10 weeks to determine the nephrotoxic section of EPR. Then, renal metabolic profiling of EPR after oral administration of nephrotoxic section was investigated and its related constituents were identified by LC/Q-TOF-MS method.
resultsThe average values of creatinine (CREA) in PE, AE, BUT and control groups were 76.54 ± 9.52, 54.12 ± 10.34, 51.33 ± 5.19 and 48.23 ± 6.67 μmol/L. The average values of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in PE, AE, BUT and control groups were 15.25 ± 3.37, 8.32 ± 0.89, 9.22 ± 1.78 and 8.47 ± 1.33 mmol/L, respectively. Only kidney section of rats in PE group showed that glomeruli had cellular or fibrocellular crescents. Renal metabolic profiling showed disturbed metabolic pathways of purine, amino acid, phospholipids and sphingolipids in EPR nephrotoxicity. A total of 25 compounds [(-)-(1S)-15-hydroxy-18-carboxycembrene is a new compound] in PE section and 10 compounds in rat serum after administration of PE section were identified.
conclusionsThis is the first time that the toxic compounds of PER and action mechanism of EPR nephrotoxicity were explored to provide a new reference for studying the toxic components of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
