The Effect of Selenium Against Cadmium-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Rats: The Role of the TRPM2 Channel.
Article in Toxics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
This study investigated the protective effect of selenium (Se) in a cadmium (Cd)-induced nephrotoxicity model in rats and the role of the TRPM2 channel in this mechanism. For this purpose, Cd (25 mg/kg orally), Se (0.5 mg/kg i.p.), and 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB), a TRPM2 channel antagonist, (3 mg/kg i.p.) were administered to rats every day for 5 days. At the end of the study, kidney tissues were analysed using histological and biochemical methods. A histopathological examination revealed congestion, tubular degeneration, necrosis, and glomerular adhesion in the Cd group. However, these lesions were significantly reduced in the Cd + Se and Cd + 2-APB groups, while the Cd + Se + 2-APB group showed a histological appearance similar to the control group. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that Caspase-3, Bax, and TRPM2 expression was higher in the Cd group, while these levels were lower in the Se and 2-APB treatment groups (
