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

In this study, the flavonoid, 6-hydroxyflavone was investigated for its renal protective activity in the cisplatin rat model of nephrotoxicity. Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200-250 g were included in the study. 6-Hydroxyflavone was daily administered at 25 and 50 mg/kg (i.p.), while ascorbic acid was used as a positive control and injected (i.p.) at 50 mg/kg for 15 days. The nephrotoxicity was evoked with a single cisplatin injection at 7.5 mg/kg on the tenth day of treatment. The renal function and levels of oxidative stress markers were assessed. Each tissue slide of different groups was observed under a compound microscope attached with a digital camera. Cisplatin significantly decreased the overall body weight with an increase in serum creatinine and urea and production of severe histopathological and oxidative stress in the kidneys. The daily treatment with 6-hydroxyflavone significantly attenuated the cisplatin associated detrimental changes in the body weight, and serum levels of creatinine and urea at both 25 mg/kg (P<0.05) and 50 mg/kg (P<0.01). The 6-hydroxyflavone treatment also preserved the renal histoarchitecture from the toxicological influence of cisplatin as evident from a significant reduction in the severity of histopathological changes in the renal tissues. Moreover, 6-hydroxyflavone also reduced the cisplatin-induced lipid peroxidation and corrected the renal antioxidant status. A similar protective effect was observed with the positive control, ascorbic acid (50 mg/kg). These findings show that the flavonoid 6-hydroxyflavone has potential nephroprotective properties and can be used for the management of chemotherapy associated renal disturbances.
