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

Interstitial cystitis (IC) is the principal unwanted effect associated with the use of cyclophosphamide (CYP). It results in increased oxidative stress, overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines, and bladder overactivity. Patients receiving CYP treatment had severely depreciated quality of life, as the treatment available is not safe and effective. The goal of this study was to assess the protective effect of caftaric acid in CYP-induced IC. IC was induced in female Sprague Dawley by injecting CYP (150 mg/kg, i.p.). In the present study, oral administration of caftaric acid (20, 40, and 60 mg/kg) significantly decreased inflammation. Caftaric acid significantly increased SOD (93%), CAT (92%), and GSH (90%) while decreased iNOS (97%), IL-6 (90%), TGF 1-β (83%), and TNF-α (96%) compared to the diseased. DPPH assay showed the antioxidant capacity comparable to ascorbic acid. Molecular docking of caftaric acid with selected protein targets further confirmed its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The cyclophosphamide-induced bladder overactivity had been decreased possibly through the inhibition of M
