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

This study aimed to demonstrate the role of Zea mays or corn silk (CS) in the treatment of kidney stones after its proven effectiveness in folk medicine. Twenty-four rats were divided into four groups, the first represented the control group (negative control), and the second (positive control), was treated with 75% of ethylene glycol (EG) and 1% of ammonium chloride (AC) to induce stones in the kidneys of experimental animals. The animals of the third and fourth groups were treated with the same proportions of EG and AC, with the addition of extract of CS at a ratio of 200 and 400 mg/kg. After the 28
