Does Ambroxol alleviate kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats?
Article in Iranian journal of basic medical sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objectives: Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a life-threatening clinical problem that can occur after transplantation or a number of clinical procedures. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of Ambroxol on kidney damage caused by experimentally induced ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Materials and Methods: Wistar albino rats were divided into 3 groups: Control (CTR, n=6), Kidney ischemia-reperfusion (K-IR, n=6), And kidney ischemia reperfusion+Ambroxol (K-IR+AMB, n=6). In K-IR+AMB group, Ambroxol (30 mg/kg) was administered orally 30 min before the ischemia period. K-IR and K-IR+AMB groups underwent 45 min of kidney ischemia followed by a 6-hour reperfusion period. At the end of the reperfusion period, blood and kidney tissue samples were collected after euthanasia. From the blood samples, BUN and creatinine levels were determined to assess kidney function, and TNF-α and IL-1β concentrations were evaluated to determine inflammatory response. Results: While serum BUN, creatinine activities, and TNF-α and IL-1β concentrations were higher in both IR groups compared with the CTR group, these values were found to be lower in the K-IR+AMB group compared with the K-IR group. Histopathological examination revealed that interstitial edema and desquamation of tubular cells in the K-IR group were more severe than in the K-IR+AMB group. Conclusion: Ambroxol treatment alleviated the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the harmful cellular effects in the tubular cells.
