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

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effect of xylosma congesta extract on kidney injury in hyperuricemic rats. Methods: The rats were fed yeast extract and intraperitoneal injections of potassium oxonate for 3 weeks to establish the hyperuricemia model. And then the rats were treated with allopurinol and different doses of oak extract. The contents of uric acid in urine and serum, creatinine, and urea nitrogen in serum were detected by biochemical methods. TUNEL was used to detect cell apoptosis in renal tissue. The protein expression of TLR4 and NF- kappa B (NF-κB) p65 and the proportion of CD68 and CD206 positive cells in renal tissue were detected by pathological method. Results: The xylosma congesta group showed decreased renal tubular dilatation, decreased renal interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration, decreased serum creatinine content, and decreased apoptotic cell count as compared to the model group. And positive expression of TLR4 and NF-κB decreased with each dose. Additionally, the xylosma congesta groups showed a significant rise in CD206 and a considerable decrease in CD68. Conclusion: The extract from xylosma congesta has the ability to lower serum uric acid and creatinine levels while also providing protection against kidney damage caused by hyperuricemia.
