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

Antioxidants have been commonly used in medicine for thousands of years. Clinically, pentoxifylline and Ginkgo biloba have beneficial renal effects. Our study evaluated the nephroprotective effect of Gingko biloba in combination with Pentoxifiln in an experimental model of vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity. Male Winstar rats were used in 3 groups: CONTROL, VANCO and VANCO+GBI+PTX and each group included 6 rats. Insufficient studies in the literature on the prevention of acute kidney injury by the combination of Ginkgo biloba and pentoxifylline led to the necessity to perform the study. Acute kidney injury was demonstrated by measuring serum values of classical markers such as urea and creatinine but also by measuring the urinary N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase index, a topical marker in modern medicine. The significant decrease of the biochemical parameters in group III (VANCO+GBI+PTX) compared to group II (VANCO) and values similar to group I (CONTROL), demonstrates, the nephroprotective effect of the use in combination of the two substances.
