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

Herbal products have been in use for many years, but they are becoming more and more popular in recent years, and they are currently in widespread use throughout the world. In this review article we describe the histopathologic findings found after exposure to 12 dietary herbals in studies conducted in rodent model systems. Clear or some evidence for carcinogenic activity was seen with 6 herbals, with the liver being the most common organ affected. The intestine was affected by two herbals (aloe vera nondecolorized extract and senna), three had no clear evidence for carcinogenic activity and one was cardiotoxic (Ephedrine and Ephedra in combination with caffeine). Information from these studies can help to better understand potential target organs for further evaluation from exposure to various herbal products.
