Evaluation of cytotoxicity, oxidative stress and organ-specific effects of activated carbon from Al-Baha date palm kernels.
Article in Saudi journal of biological sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Activated carbon (AC) is a carbonaceous material derived from carbonization and activation of carbon-containing compounds at high temperature and has a large surface area, providing it with excellent adsorption properties. Human exposure to ACs via ingestion is increasing and, unfortunately, there is little to no evidence related to its level of toxicity. Materials and methods: Activated carbon of powdered date kernels from Al-Baha city in Saudi Arabia were used to treat rats and cell lines (HepG2 and HCT-116). Toxicity, microbiological tests and biochemical analyses were carried out to investigate biological activity of both commercially available AC (CAC), pharmaceutical AC (PAC) and AC from date palm kernels (AAC). Results: None of the ACs showed activity on Conclusion: AAC appears to be biologically safe compared with PAC and CAC due to its antioxidant activities and non-effect on both hepatic and renal functions.
