Nature's Cure or Kidney Curse? The Nephrotoxic Potential of Indigenous Remedies.
Review in Indian journal of nephrology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Traditional medicine refers to a diverse range of health and healing practices used by Indigenous peoples that incorporate plants, animals, and the spiritual realm for the diagnosis and treatment of illness or maintenance of health and well-being. While these practices hold significant cultural value, there is growing evidence of potential nephrotoxicity associated with some traditional indigenous medicines (TIMs). In this review, we explore the various clinical manifestations of nephrotoxicity induced by TIMs. Nephrotoxicity can result from various factors, including the intrinsic toxicity of certain herbs, contamination with heavy metals, inappropriate dosages, and interaction with conventional medications. This review highlights the importance of monitoring kidney function in patients using TIMs and calls for increased awareness and regulation to ensure the safe use of these traditional therapies.
