Antioxidative Effects of Crocin-loaded Noisome in Paraquat-induced Oxidative Stress in Lung Rat.

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
Crocin is a valuable natural chemical component of saffron with antioxidant properties. This compound could be beneficial against intoxication with oxidant herbicides, including paraquat. Paraquat is widely used to fight pests in agriculture. The present study intended to assess the effects of crocin and nanocrocin on acute paraquat-induced oxidative toxic stress and toxicity in lung rats. Thirty male Wistar rats were orally subjected to paraquat (5 mg/kg) along with crocin or nanocrocin (IP, 20 mg/kg) for seven successive days. The oxidative toxic stress biomarkers were evaluated by assessing total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total thiol groups (TTG), and lipid peroxidation (LPO), and examined the lung fibrosis by hydroxyproline level. Paraquat increased LPO and hydroxyproline and decreased TAC and TTG levels. Nanocrocin reduced LPO and hydroxyproline and increased TAC and TTG compared to crocin in the paraquat-induced toxicity in the rats. The results showed that nanocrocin had more preservative effects than crocin to defend against the progression of paraquat-induced lung injury, probably via modulation of oxidative stress. Nanocrocin could be a promising medication to prevent oxidative damage of paraquat.
