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

backgroundParacetamol (acetaminophen) is an over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that may cause acute toxic overdosage particularly in neuropsychiatric patients. Paracetamol is also very commonly prescribed as an analgesic and antipyretic agent. Paracetamol toxicity causes decreased reduced glutathione and oxidative tissue damage. Aleppo galls is a promising natural remedy exerting antioxidant and tissue-protective effects that may combat acetaminophen-induced oxidative tissue damage. METHODOLOGY: Biochemical and toxicological effects of a toxic dose of paracetamol (250 mg/kg) were investigated for three consecutive days versus the tissue-protective effects of Aleppo galls. Eighteen white albino mice were randomly allocated in this study and divided into three experimental groups (six mice per group): negative control (received intraperitoneal sterile water injection), paracetamol toxicity group (received intraperitoneal paracetamol injection) and the third group (received paracetamol injection at 250 mg/kg/day together with oral Aleppo galls treatment at 250 mg/kg/day for 3 consecutive days). All mice were sacrificed by the end of the study.

resultsOur data revealed that paracetamol toxicity exerted significant oxidative stress damaging effects (high serum malondialdehyde, decreased serum catalase and decreased total antioxidant capacity), and significant inflammatory effects (high serum IL-6) and significant tissue-damaging effects (high serum LDH). Aleppo galls treatment significantly protected against acetaminophen toxicity-induced oxidative stress effects (P<0.001), inflammatory effects (P<0.001) and tissue-damaging effects (P<0.001).

conclusionAleppo galls are promising for future drug therapeutics and for the synthesis of natural remedies for treating paracetamol toxicity. We recommend formulating Aleppo galls extract as a pharmaceutical nutrition and to be given to those who need to take large doses of paracetamol.
