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

This study investigated the potential of stevioside to prevent oxidative DNA damage in the liver and kidney of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using high fat-low streptozocin rat model. Rats were treated daily with 12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg stevioside orally for 21 days. Levels of biomarkers of T2DM, lipid profile and oxidative stress were assayed spectrophotometrically. The DNA ladder assay method was used to assess DNA fragmentation in the liver and kidney while computational analysis was used to predict the mechanisms of antidiabetic properties of stevioside. Stevioside significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the levels of plasma glucose, insulin, dipeptidyl peptidase IV and activities of kidney angiotensin converting enzyme. Stevioside significantly reduced oxidative stress by decreasing the levels of lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide in the liver and kidney; thereby, reducing the extent of DNA fragmentation in the liver and kidney of the diabetic rats.
