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

Background: Paracetamol is one of the popular causes of liver injury primarily mediated by oxidative stress and increased inflammation within the liver. Objective: This study was aimed at evaluating the hepatoprotective effect of a methanolic extract of Methods: The study was conducted on thirty male Swiss albino mice, randomly grouped into six groups of five mice each; normal, negative, and positive control groups received 1 mL/kg of distilled water, paracetamol 250 mg/kg only, and silymarin (100 mg/kg) orally with paracetamol, respectively. While treatment groups I, II, and III received 200, 400, and 600 mg/kg of the Results: The negative control group showed higher levels of ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, and bilirubin compared to the normal control. However, significant hepatoprotective effects were noted in the treatment and positive control groups, as evidenced by the substantially reduced levels of these liver biomarkers towards the normal range. The significantly lower levels of indirect bilirubin were seen among treatment groups II and III as compared to group II. Abnormal liver architectures were observed in the negative control group; however, these changes were reversed following administration of the leaf extract. Conclusion: The study found that the methanolic leaf extract of
