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
The pathogenesis of Androctonus autralis hector (Aah) scorpion venom involved cellular and molecular mechanisms resulting in multi-organ dysfunction. However, little is reported about the effects of venom on the gastrointestinal axis. Mast cells (MCs) are known to play a crucial role in modulating immune response of the gut. This study aims to investigate the involvement of this cell type in venom-induced gastric and intestinal disorders in a time course (3 and 24h). The obtained results revealed that Aah scorpion venom induced inflammatory cell infiltration as shown by the increase of the myeloperoxidase and eosinophil peroxidase activities. Overexpression of the c-kit receptor (CD117) severely imbalanced the redox status with depletion of antioxidant systemic accompanied by gastrointestinal tissue damage. Moreover, an increased level of lactate dehydrogenase in the serum was correlated with tissue injuries. Pharmacological inhibition of MCs targeting tyrosine kinase (TK) reduces the generation of reactive oxygen species and normalizes catalase, and gluthation S-transferase activities to their physiological levels. In addition, histopathological alterations were restored after pretreatment with c-kit receptor inhibitor associated with a considerable reduction of MC density. Interestingly, obtained results indicate that MCs might be involved in gastric modulation and intestinal inflammation through c-kit signaling following sub-cutaneous Aah venom injection.
