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

introductionSnakebites, one of the world's deadliest neglected tropical diseases, predominantly affect impoverished rural communities in tropical and subtropical regions. The clinical management of snakebite envenomation currently relies heavily on antivenom serum, which is often inaccessible and expensive in these areas. Thus, effective and cost-efficient therapies for treating snakebite envenomation are urgently needed. Pimpinella diversifolia DC, a herb widely distributed across Asia, has long been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of snake venom poisoning.

objectivesTo investigate the efficacy of P. diversifolia in counteracting venom-induced lethality caused by various neurotoxic venoms in mouse models and in vitro experiments.

methodsThe protective effects of P. diversifolia against various neurotoxic venoms were evaluated in C57BL/6 mice by intraperitoneal administration of the aqueous extract immediately after injection of snake venom. The primary components of P. diversifolia were identified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the compounds were subsequently assessed for their ability to protect against neurotoxicity. Additionally, the neurotoxic effects of Bungarus multicinctus venom and efficacy of the drug against venom-induced neurotoxicity were examined in chick biventer cervicis (BC) and mouse phrenic nerve-diaphragm (PND) preparations.

resultsP. diversifolia partially prevented lethality in some of the mice injected with various snake venoms. Adenosine, one of the most abundant compounds in the extract, significantly prevented lethality in mice caused by B. multicinctus venom, with 100% survival observed within 48 h. Adenosine markedly attenuated the neurotoxic effects of B. multicinctus venom in BC and PND preparations, and prevented the inhibition of muscular contractions induced by exogenous acetylcholine and carbamylcholine.

conclusionAdenosine may have a protective role against B. multicinctus venom-induced neurotoxicity in preclinical models, warranting further investigation into its mechanisms and clinical applicability.
