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

Syringic acid (SA) is a phenolic acid and have been investigated for diverse pharmacological activities, but the safety and/or mechanism of toxicity is still lacking in the literature. Subacute toxicity studies will add value to its pharmacological profile and support its exploration as a future medicine. According to OECD TG 407 (OECD, 2008), rats were divided into 3 groups (n = 12). The dose of SA was decided by limit test. Treatment and satellite groups received SA (1000 mg/kg/day, p.o for 14 days), whereas an equal volume of vehicle was given to control groups. In order to access reversibility, satellite groups were kept for another 14 days post-treatment. The toxic signs, mortality and body weight changes were recorded. On day 15 and 29 the rats were anesthetized to collect blood for estimation of hematological and biochemical parameters and then sacrificed to collect internal body organ for weighing and histopathological studies. SA has no major adverse effect on the body weight, food intake, erythropoiesis, leucopoiesis and on internal body organs which was confirmed by evaluating various biochemical and hematological parameters, relative body organ weight and histopathological studies. Therefore, SA could be considered safe over limited period of time and this study may help researchers in establishing the doses for the longer-term subchronic studies. Further, subchronic and chronic toxicity studies are required to evaluate safety on long term use.
