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

Linezolid, a synthetic antimicrobial agent, may induce oxidative damage in ocular tissues, particularly in the optic nerve. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is involved in the production of antioxidants that scavenge and neutralize reactive oxygen species. This study aims to evaluate the potential protective effect of exogenous ATP against linezolid-induced ocular damage in rats, in comparison with methylprednisolone. Wistar-type rats were divided into five groups as follows: healthy (HG), ATP-only (ATPG), linezolid-only (LZDG), ATP + linezolid (ATLDG), and methylprednisolone + linezolid groups (MPLDG). Oxidative stress markers, antioxidant biomarkers, and proinflammatory cytokines were analyzed in isolated ocular tissues. Optic nerve tissue was also evaluated histopathologically. Linezolid administration increased the oxidative stress marker MDA and the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-α, while decreasing antioxidant parameters such as tGSH, SOD and CAT in rat ocular tissues, compared to the healthy group. However, it did not significantly alter serum troponin I levels. Histopathological analysis revealed that linezolid induced oxidative damage and inflammation in optic nerve tissue, with marked glial alterations. ATP administration reduced linezolid-induced oxidative stress in ocular tissue, as indicated by decreased MDA levels. It also enhanced antioxidant defenses by increasing tGSH, SOD, and CAT levels. In addition, ATP lowered proinflammatory cytokine levels, thereby alleviating inflammation. These effects collectively contributed to the restoration of biochemical parameters toward normal levels. In addition, ATP mitigated linezolid-induced optic nerve damage and glial alterations. The critical role of ATP in reducing oxidative stress, restoring antioxidant balance, and suppressing inflammation may represent a promising therapeutic approach for linezolid-induced ocular toxicity.
