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

This study aims to explore the protective effects of quercetin against cadmium-induced nephrotoxicity utilizing metabolomics methods. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to six groups: control, different dosages of quercetin (10 and 50 mg/kg·bw, respectively), CdCl2 (4.89 mg/kg·bw) and different dosages quercetin plus CdCl2 groups. After 12 weeks, the kidneys were collected for metabolomics analysis and histopathology examination. In total, 11 metabolites were confirmed, the intensities of which significantly changed (up-regulated or down-regulated) compared with the control group (p < 0.00067). These metabolites include xanthosine, uric acid (UA), guanidinosuccinic acid (GSA), hypoxanthine (Hyp), 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (tetranor 12-HETE), taurocholic acid (TCA), hydroxyphenylacetylglycine (HPAG), deoxyinosine (DI), ATP, formiminoglutamic acid (FIGLU) and arachidonic acid (AA). When high-dose quercetin and cadmium were given to rats concurrently, the intensities of above metabolites significantly restored (p < 0.0033 or p < 0.00067). The results showed quercetin attenuated Cd-induced nephrotoxicity by regulating the metabolism of lipids, amino acids, and purine, inhibiting oxidative stress, and protecting kidney functions.
