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

The research was planned to assess the ameliorative effects of fenugreek (FG) against DBP-induced functional and structural changes in the kidney and adrenal glands of male rats. The forty pubertal male rats were distributed (n = 10) into four groups: (i) Control: normal feed and drinking water; (ii) DBP: 250 mg/kg/BW of DBP dissolved in corn oil; (iii) FG: 200 mg/kg /BW of fenugreek aqueous extract; and (iv) DBP + FG: 250 mg/kg/BW of DBP dissolved in corn oil + 200 mg/kg /BW of fenugreek aqueous extract. All doses were administered through oral gavage. Following a 28-day experiment, we used the cervical dislocation technique to euthanize the animals and collect blood samples and organs. The results indicated that DBP causes adverse effects on serum urea, creatinine, and uric acid; malondialdehyde level and catalase activity; average cross-sectional area (ACSA) of glomeruli, Bowman’s capsule, proximal & distal tubules of the kidney, and the mean number of glomerulosa (G), fasciculata (F), reticularis (R), and adrenal medulla (M); average width of adrenal medulla; and ACSA of the adrenal medulla of the adrenal gland. Conversely, concurrent treatment with FG substantially attenuated the kidney and adrenal glands’ toxic effects of DBP. In conclusion, FG, using its antioxidant potential, would be an important phytonutrient against the DBP-intoxicated kidney and adrenal gland.
