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

Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is one of the most potent naturally occurring neurotoxins. InitiallyTTX was associated with human food intoxications in Japan, but nowadays, concerns about thehuman health risks posed by TTX have increased in Europe after the identification of the toxin infish, marine gastropods, and bivalves captured in European waters. Even when TTX monitoring isnot currently performed in Europe, an acute oral no observable effect level (NOAEL) of 75 μg/kghas been recently established but, to date, no studies evaluating the chronic oral toxicity of TTXhave been released, even when EFSA has highlighted the need for them. Thus, in this work, thechronic effects of low oral TTX doses (below the acute lethal dose 50) were evaluated followinginternationally adopted guidelines. The results presented here demonstrate that low oral doses ofTTX have deleterious effects on renal and cardiac tissues. Moreover, alterations in bloodbiochemistry parameters, urine production, and urinalysis data were already detected at the oraldose of 75 μg/kg after the 28 days exposure. Thus, the data presented here constitute an initialapproach for the chronic evaluation of the in vivo toxicity of tetrodotoxin after its ingestion throughcontaminated fishery products.
