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

Bile duct constriction disrupts bile acid flow causing cholestasis, hepatic necrosis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis. The study investigated hepatoprotective effectiveness of Ayurvedic prescription herbal medicine "Livogrit" commercially available in India, against α-naphtylisothiocyanate (ANIT)-induced cholestasis-like symptoms in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Livogrits's phytochemical profiling showed the presence of Gallic acid, Methyl Gallate, Catechin, Corilagin, Ellagic acid, Rutin, and Cinnamic acid. Sprague-Dawley rats were pre-treated with Livogrit (20-600 mg/kg/day) and reference drug Ursodeoxycholic acid (100 mg/kg/day) for 15 and 5 days, respectively, before single-dose ANIT (100 mg/kg) stimulation. Livogrit treatment protect the rats against ANIT-induced increase in blood serum markers (total bile acids, ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, total cholesterol, and total bilirubin) and reduced manifestation of liver necrosis, inflammation, and periportal fibrosis. At molecular level, Livogrit inhibited up-regulation of BAX, TGF-β, α-SMA, and MMP-9 mRNA expressions, associated with the liver damages. Taken together, this study supported Livogrit's potential as hepatoprotective medicine against cholestasis-like-etiologies.
