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

Amphotericin B (Amp-B/FZ), a first-line antifungal, is limited by dose-dependent nephrotoxicity. This study investigated the protective effects of hyperoside (HP), a dietary flavonoid, against FZ-induced renal toxicity in human proximal tubular (HK-2) cells. Molecular docking revealed strong binding affinities of HP with mitophagy (PINK1/PARKIN) and antioxidant (Nrf2/HO-1) regulators, contrasting with FZ's preferential binding to mitochondrial complex I. FZ (30-60 µM) induced cytotoxicity (MTT/LDH), genotoxicity (comet assay), and bioenergetic disruption: ATP depletion (58%), mitochondrial complex I/III inhibition (42-67%), and PINK1/PARKIN dysregulation. FZ elevated reactive species (3.2-fold) and lipid peroxidation (2.8-fold) while suppressing catalase (64%) and superoxide dismutase (51%) activities. qPCR confirmed FZ-induced downregulation of NDUFS1, CYC1, CAT, and SOD2, alongside impaired Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant signaling. Co-treatment with HP (20-40 µM) attenuated FZ toxicity, restoring ATP (1.8-fold), mitochondrial complex activities (35-49%), and antioxidant defenses (CAT:2.1-fold, SOD:1.7-fold). HP also normalized Nrf2/HO-1 expression and mitigated oxidative/genotoxic damage. These findings highlight HP's dual role in countering FZ-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, positioning it as a promising nephroprotective adjuvant. Further in vivo validation could advance HP's clinical application in reducing antifungal-associated renal injury.
