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

objectiveStudy the effect of the 3:7 ratio of Astragalus total saponins and Curcumin on the model of diabetic nephropathy rats, and explore its mechanisms.

methodsDiabetic nephropathy rats model was established by high-fat and high-sugar feed feeding combined with streptozotocin (STZ) injection in sublingual vein. Measured fasting blood glucose of rats on the 10, 20 and 30th day, and measured urine protein content in urine of rats on 30th days. Two hours after the last administration, measured glycated serum protein (GSP), insulin antibody (IA), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), malondialdehyde (MDA), insulin, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr) in the serum and calculated the renal index of rat. Take the viscera of pancreas and kidney, and HE staining, so as to observe pathological changes.

resultAstragalus total saponins and Curcumin 3:7 compatibility each dose group can significantly reduce the diabetic nephropathy rats blood glucose of 30th days, significantly reduce the level of GSP, IA, TG, TC, LDL (

conclusionThe 3:7 ratio of Astragalus total saponins and Curcumin can achieve the treatment and protection effects on diabetic nephropathy rats by improve the glycometableolism, insulin resistance, lipid metableolism, oxidative stress levels, and pathological changes.
