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
introductionAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a rapid and often reversible decline in renal excretory function. Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose causes AKI. APAP nephrotoxicity is mostly due to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). As no effective treatment for AKI is available, researchers are looking for natural and safe alternatives using plants. In this study, they aimed to evaluate the nephroprotective effects of Moringa oleifera (Mor), Mucuna pruriens (Muc), or milk thistle (MT) at the biochemical and molecular levels in an APAP-induced AKI mouse model.
methodsAKI was induced in mice with a single intraperitoneal dose of APAP (1,000 mg/kg). The aqueous extracts of the three plants were given orally at 350 mg/kg daily for 21 days pre-AKI induction. Creatinine and BUN levels were measured in serum to assess kidney function. The oxidative stress and inflammatory indicators SOD, CAT, MDA, IL-6, and TNF-α were determined using colorimetric and ELISA kits, respectively. SIRT1 protein levels were determined by Western blot.
resultsPretreatment with the three plant extracts significantly decreased the kidney biomarkers. SOD and CAT activities were enhanced with a decrease in MDA levels. IL-6 and TNF-α were also significantly lowered. A significant increase in SIRT1 expression was observed.
conclusionPretreatment with Mor, Muc, and MT has a nephroprotective effect against APAP-induced kidney injury, regulating oxidative stress and inflammatory response.
