Protective role of Convolvulus pluricaulis on lipid abnormalities in high-fat diet with low dose streptozotocin-induced experimental rat model.
Article in Journal of Ayurveda and integrative medicine. 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
backgroundThe methanolic extract of Convolvulus pluricaulis had earlier shown lipid lowering activity in Triton induced reversible hyperlipidemia model, but, the hypolipidemic activity in irreversible models and hypoglycaemic activity are not investigated so far.
objectiveThis study was designed to validate the lipid and glucose-lowering actions of C. pluricaulis methanolic extract (CPME) by using ingredients from the Indian diet for induction of hyperlipidemia and diabetes on experimental rats. MATERIALS AND
methodsExperimental animals were divided into four groups having six animals in each group (n = 6). Animals of Group I II, III and IV received - no treatment, 0.9% NaCl, Glipizide (GPZ) 5 mg/kg and CPME 400 mg/kg once daily for two weeks respectively. Animals of all groups except group I were fed a high fat-based Indian diet for 21 days followed by a single STZ (35 mg/kg) i.p. administration in model induction phase. Afterwards, animals were sacrificed, and the pancreas was dissected for histological changes, and blood was collected for measuring lipid parameters, FBS, insulin levels, and HOMA scores.
resultsCPME significantly ameliorate the lipid abnormalities in HFD-STZ-treated experimental model (p < 0.001) but fails to reverse the hyperglycaemia developed in diabetic rats with no protective effect on islet architecture (p > 0.05) as compared to experimental group while, GPZ showed protective effect on both lipid abnormalities and hyperglycemia by modulating the levels of lipid parameters and insulin respectively.
conclusionIn conclusion, the study confirm that CPME possesses significant hypolipidemic activity but fails to reverse the hyperglycaemia developed in diabetic rats.
