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

introductionMedical improvements are needed to prevent ischemia-reperfusion injury in thoracoabdominal aortic surgery. The aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant effects of thymoquinone, silymarin, and curcumin against ischemia-reperfusion injury associated with abdominal aorta.

methodsTwenty-five Wistar albino rats were included in the study. Sham, control, and treatment (thymoquinone, silymarin, and curcumin) groups were set in equal numbers. Ischemia-reperfusion was applied by clamping (120 minutes) and de-clamping (60 minutes) the infrarenal aorta of all groups, except the sham group. Before reperfusion, thymoquinone, silymarin, and curcumin were given intraperitoneally to the treatment groups. After reperfusion, blood samples were taken from the right ventricle. Total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), and oxidative stress index (OSI) were studied in serum samples and histopathological examination was performed on the gastrocnemius muscle.

resultsThere was a significant difference in TOS and OSI values between the control and sham groups. Both values were found higher in the control group than in the sham group (P<0.05). OSI values were found to be lower in the thymoquinone group compared to the control group (P<0.05). All three parameters were found to be lower in the silymarin group than in the control group (P<0.05). TAS and TOS levels were found to be higher in the curcumin group than in the control group (P<0.05). There was no histopathological difference between the groups.

conclusionSilymarin and thymoquinone administration decreases oxidative stress in experimental aortic ischemia-reperfusion injury. Antioxidant effect of curcumin was lower than silymarin and thymoquinone.
