Vitamin C reduces vancomycin-related nephrotoxicity through the inhibition of oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation in mice.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundVancomycin (VCM) is an antibiotic widely used to treat a range of serious bacterial infections; however, it is associated with nephrotoxicity. Vitamin C (VC) is a classical antioxidant that can alleviate various organ injuries and inflammatory responses by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. This study aimed to examine the effect of VC on VCM-related nephrotoxicity in mice.
methodsMice were randomized into four groups: control, VCM (400 mg/kg/day), VCM (400 mg/kg/day) + VC (200 mg/kg/day), and VC (200 mg/kg/day) groups. Both VCM and VC were administered via intraperitoneal injection for 7 d, after which kidney and blood samples were collected and evaluated. Creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) were measured.
resultsIn the VCM group, kidney index, renal injury score, cell apoptosis, serum Cr and BUN, and kidney Cr, BUN, MDA, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and NF-κB were higher compared to the control group (all P<0.05), while body weight and kidney SOD activity were lower (both P<0.05). By contrast, no differences were observed between the control and VC groups (VC and VCM + VC groups) for all these indicators.
conclusionsThe antioxidant VC reduces VCM-related renal injury by reducing oxidative stress, cell apoptosis, and inflammation.
