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

Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a critical health concern that aggravates the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury (AKI), leading to high mortality rates in intensive care units. Cardamonin is a natural compound with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The current study aimed to evaluate the renoprotective impact of cardamonin against AKI induced by renal IRI. Male rats (n=5 per group) were divided into four groups: the sham group underwent anesthesia and abdominal incision only; the control group experienced bilateral renal artery clamping for 30 minutes followed by 2 hours of reperfusion; the vehicle group received the cardamonin vehicle 30 minutes before ischemia induction; and the cardamonin group was administered 5 mg/kg of cardamonin 30 minutes before ischemia. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine were measured to assess the renal function. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), caspase 3, and F2-isoprostane were assessed in renal tissues. Kidney injury was examined using the hematoxylin and eosin stain method. Compared to the sham group, the control group exhibited significantly higher levels of BUN, creatinine, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, F2-isoprostane, and caspase 3 in renal tissues, along with severe kidney injury as evidenced by histological analysis. Compared to the control group, pretreatment with cardamonin resulted in a significant reduction in these biomarkers and alleviated renal damage. Cardamonin had renoprotective effects against renal ischemia and reperfusion injury via modulating inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis pathways.
