Valsartan prevents gefitinib-induced lung inflammation, oxidative stress, and alteration of plasma metabolites in rats.

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
Gefitinib (GEF) is an inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor, linked to higher risk of severe/fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD). This study was performed to determine the protective roles of an angiotensin-II type-1 receptor (AT1R) "valsartan (VAL)" in prevention of lung inflammation, oxidative stress and metabolites alteration induced by GEF. Four groups of male Wistar albino rats were received vehicle, VAL (30 mg/kg), GEF (30 mg/kg), or both for four weeks. Blood samples and lungs were harvested for plasma metabolites and histological analysis, respectively, and evaluation of inflammation and oxidative stress. GEF monotherapy showed a dense inflammation in lungs, and significantly increased tumor necrosis factor-α (
