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

Ethanol consumption induces thymic atrophy and affects T cell maturation in the thymus. However, the mechanisms underlying such effects still need to be fully understood. We attempted to investigate the role of mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) on ethanol-induced thymic atrophy, T cell maturation dysfunction, and the role of oxidative stress in such responses. Male Wistar Hannover rats were treated with ethanol (20%; in volume ratio) and/or potassium canrenoate, an antagonist of MR (MRA; 30 mg/kg/day, gavage) for five weeks. Blockade of MR prevented ethanol-induced increases in the number of double-positive (CD4
