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

Syringic acid (SYA) is a significant phenolic compound with the potential for various biomedical uses, including uses of its hepatoprotective properties. Doxorubicin (DOX) is a drug used in the treatment of several tumors, but its side effects, particularly hepatotoxicity, limit its effectiveness. This study investigated the therapeutic effects of SYA on DOX-induced hepatic injury in rats. Molecular docking studies were performed using AutoDock Vina. Five groups of Sprague-Dawley rats (eight in each group) were studied. Gp1 was a negative control group; Gps2-5 was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) with DOX at a dosage of 4 mg/kg once a week for a month; and Gp2 was left as a positive control group. Gps3-5 received oral SYA at doses of 25, 50, or 75 mg/kg/day, respectively, for a month. Histopathological, molecular, and biochemical analyses were conducted one month after the last SYA dosages were given. The findings demonstrated that by reversing biochemical changes and reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, SYA therapy considerably reduced DOX-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. These results implied that SYA may lessen the hepatotoxicity that DOX causes in rats.
