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

The use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is expanding. This study evaluates the modulator effect of eugenol (Eug) on AgNP-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Sixty male rats were separated into six groups: control, Eug, AgNPs low-dose, AgNPs high-dose, Eug + AgNPs low-dose, and Eug + AgNPs high-dose. After 30 days, kidney function, antioxidative and proinflammatory status, histopathological, histomorphometrical, and immunohistochemical assessments were performed. AgNPs markedly induced oxidative stress in renal tissues, characterized by increased levels of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, kidney injury molecule-1, the total oxidant capacity, malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-6, as well as decreased levels of the total antioxidant capacity, superoxide dismutase, catalase, reduced glutathione, and glutathione peroxidase. Moreover, the normal renal architecture was destroyed, and the thickness of the renal capsules, cortex, and medulla, alongside the diameter and quantity of the normal Malpighian corpuscles and the proximal and distal convoluted tubules were decreased. Immunoreactivity for P53, caspase-3, and TNF-α reactive proteins were significantly increased; however, Bcl-2 immunoreactivity was decreased. Eug reversed most biochemical, histological, histomorphometrical, and immunohistochemical changes in AgNP-treated animals. This study demonstrated that nephrotoxicity in AgNP-treated rats was mitigated by an Eug supplementation. Eug's antioxidant, antiapoptotic, and anti-inflammatory capabilities were the key in modulating AgNPs nephrotoxicity.
