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

Sepsis is the primary cause of mortality after infection and is considered a global health issue. This study aimed to investigate whether quercetin may have any potential nephroprotective effects during renal injury induced by sepsis. 40 male albino Swiss mice were divided into 4 groups of 10 mice each. Normal control groups include mice that clearly exhibit good health. The CLP group included mice that underwent cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) surgery but received no treatment. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group administered DMSO as a vehicle. The quercetin group was administered quercetin 10 mg/kg/day intraperitoneally for 5 consecutive days. A significant (p < 0.05) reduction in the renal levels of Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) was observed in the quercetin group compared to the CLP group. A significant (p < 0.05) reduction in the serum levels of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β) was observed in the quercetin group compared to the CLP group. Additionally, the quercetin group exhibited a significant (p < 0.05) increase in renal SOD activity and a reduction in MDA levels in comparison to the CLP group. Histologically, all mice in the CLP group exhibited a significant (p < 0.05) renal tissue injury, whereas the quercetin group exhibited a significant (p < 0.05) reduction in renal tissue injury. The quercetin exhibited an anti-inflammatory effect by reducing serum levels of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6), as well as an antioxidant effect by decreasing renal levels of MDA and increasing the renal activity of SOD.
