Traditional Chinese medicine prescription Guizhi Fuling Pills ameliorate cisplatin-induced renal injury via remodeling intestinal homeostasis in mice with tongue squamous cell carcinoma.

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
Introduction: Guizhi Fuling Pills, a traditional Chinese medicine, may affect cisplatin-induced kidney damage during tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) treatment via the gut-kidney axis, but this is not well understood. This study explores the impact of Guizhi Fuling Pills on gut microbiota and intestinal barrier function, its protective effects against cisplatin-induced kidney injury, and the mechanisms involved. Methods: A tongue tumor model was created in nude mice using Cal27 cells. Treatments included cisplatin, Guizhi Fuling Pills, or both. Kidney function was evaluated through serum creatinine (CRE) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Oxidative stress and inflammation were assessed by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Gut microbiota was analyzed via 16S rRNA sequencing, and intestinal morphology was examined using H&E and PAS staining. Results: The coadministration of Guizhi Fuling Pills with DDP demonstrated multifaceted effects. At the systemic level, it ameliorated renal pathological changes, as evidenced by decreased serum levels of CRE, BUN, MDA, and TNF-α, alongside increased SOD activity. It also enhanced the inhibitory effect on TSCC tumor growth. In the gut, this combination reduced crypt depth, increased goblet cell number, and favorably modulated the microbiota by decreasing the abundance of Desulfovibrioand increasing beneficial bacteria including Lactobacillus, Kineothrix, and Eubacterium, without affecting ZO-1 expression. Discussion: Guizhi Fuling Pill effectively mitigates cisplatin-induced renal injury and maintains its anti-tumor efficacy in TSCC by modulating gut microflora and reducing inflammation.
