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.
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
Oxidative stress, inflammation and renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activation play an important role in the nephrotoxicity which is caused by the long-term use of the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine (CsA). This study investigates whether chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), an endogenous farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, modulates CsA nephrotoxicity. CsA (25 mg/kg/day; s.c.) was administered to rats for 12 days. CDCA (20 mg/kg/day; i.p.) injection was started 3 days before CsA and continued for 15 days. CDCA improved renal damage and function in CsA-administered rats. Renal function markers in serum, renal histology, oxidative stress, inflammation and RAS components were determined in kidney. CDCA reduced CsA-induced renal increases in NADPH oxidase 4 and NADPH oxidase 2 mRNA expressions, oxidative stress and inflammation. CDCA elevated renal FXR, small heterodimer partner-1, hypoxia-inducible factor and vascular endothelial growth factor and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor mRNA expressions in CsA rats. It prevents renin angiotensin system activation by reducing angiotensin II (Ang-II) levels in serum and upregulating renal mRNA expressions of Ang II type-II receptor (AT2R) and angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), but not AT1R and ACE in CsA rats. Our results indicate that CDCA may be a protective agent against CsA-nephrotoxicity by decreasing inflammation, oxidative stress and RAS activation via AT2R and ACE2 upregulations.
