Effects of Moringa oleifera extract on biochemical and histological parameters of sodium valproate induced lungs damage.
Article in Journal of molecular histology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sodium valproate- a salt of valproic acid (VPA), is an anticonvulsant used in the treatment of epilepsy and a range of psychiatric conditions that include panic attacks, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, migraine and bipolar disorder etc. VPA can cause direct damage to many tissues due to accumulation of toxic metabolites. Nowadays, phytochemicals are amongst the best options for the treatment of diseases. Moringa oleifera is a popular plant in the tropics owing to its numerous pharmacological and phytochemical properties such as antiproliferative, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective effects. In the present study, the protective effects of Moringa ethanol extract on oxidative lung damage caused by VPA was assessed biochemically and histologically. Sprague Dawley female rats were divided into 4 groups: Control, Moringa extract (M), sodium valproate (V), and sodium valproate + Moringa extract (V + M). Doses of sodium valproate and Moringa extract (dissolved in physiological saline) were given at 500 mg/kg b.w. and 300 mg/kg b.w. for 15 days, respectively. The rats were sacrificed on the 16th day, lung tissues collected biochemical parameters (glutathione level, antioxidant enzyme activities, oxidative stress biomarker and inflammatory proteins) and histopathological findings obtained from the study indicated increased damage in lung tissue of the valproate administered group. The damage was prevented/decreased upon administration of Moringa to the valproate rats. The present findings revealed that Moringa extract had a protective and therapeutic effect against VPA induced lung damage. Moringa extract demonstrated an ameliorative effect on histopathological and biochemical parameters in valproate induced lung damage.
