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

introductionBisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical compound that has been used in many industries, such as paints and dental sealants. Taurine is a semi-essential amino acid with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic actions.

aimThis study aimed to evaluate the possible protective effect of taurine on BPA-induced structural changes in the cerebral cortex of rats using histological and immunohistochemical methods.

methods35 Wistar rats (180-200 gm) were divided into control: 10 rats; Group I: 5 rats received corn oil (0.5 mL/day); Group II (Bisphenol low dose; BPAL): 5 rats received a low dose of BPA (25 mg/kg/three times/week); Group III (Bisphenol high dose; BPAH): 5 rats received a high dose of BPA (100 mg/kg/three times/week; Group IV: (BPAL + taurine): 5 rats received taurine 100 mg/kg/day and BPAL (25 mg/kg/three times/week); Group V: (BPAH + taurine): 5 rats received taurine 100 mg/kg/day and BPH (100 mg/kg/ three times/week).

resultsBPAL& BPAH groups showed significant dose-dependent histological changes of the neuropil, pyramidal, and neuroglial cells at H&E stained sections, significantly increased GFAP, caspase- 3 immunohistochemical reaction with cells positive for Ki67 with many mitotic figures. BPAL + taurine and BPAH + taurine groups showed amelioration of the previously mentioned results.

conclusionTaurine ameliorated the structural changes induced by BPA in the cerebral cortex of rats.
