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

BACKGROUND/

aimU-74389G and ascorbic acid protect the cells from oxidation. This study aimed to depict their role in ischemia-reperfusion injury in a renal rat model. MATERIALS AND

methodsSixty Wistars rats were randomized into six groups of 10 animals each. Group A Ischemia 30 min, reperfusion 60 min; Group B Ischemia 30 min, reperfusion 120 min; Group C Ischemia 30 min, ascorbic acid administration, reperfusion 60 min; Group D Ischemia 30 min, ascorbic acid administration, reperfusion 120 min; Group E Ischemia 30 min, U-74389G administration, reperfusion 60 min; Group F Ischemia 30 min, U-74389G administration, reperfusion 120 min. We then collected tissue and blood samples.

resultsHistology and the significantly decreased malondialdehyde and tumor necrosis factor-α levels indicated that ascorbic acid was superior to U-74389G, at pre-defined time intervals.

conclusionAscorbic acid and U-74389G ameliorated renal damage induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury, suggesting a therapeutic effect.
