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
Chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of head and neck cancers can induce adverse effects on healthy tissues, including hematopoietic cells. Saliva and salivary glands are also vulnerable to the toxic effects of chemotherapy. Notably, the incorporation of herbal products or their natural constituents offers the potential for mitigating the adverse effects of chemotherapy. Mangifera indica L., commonly known as mango, is a globally significant tropical fruit renowned for its production and consumer appeal. It possesses a range of bioactive properties, including antioxidant and anti-cancer effects. This study assessed the cytoprotective activity of mango peel extract (MPE), specifically its ability to mitigate the adverse effects of carboplatin/5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on parotid glands and hematopoietic cells. Sixty male albino rats were equally divided into control (no treatment), Drug (carboplatin/5-FU), MPE only, and Drug + MPE (carboplatin/5-FU + MPE). All treatments were administered for three weeks. Body weight, blood glucose levels, and hematological values were evaluated. Parotid gland biopsies were analyzed using H&E staining and transmission electron microscopy. The concurrent administration of MPE and carboplatin/5-FU significantly increased body weight compared to carboplatin/5-FU treatment alone. However, MPE did not counteract the decrease in blood glucose levels induced by carboplatin/5-FU. Notably, the combined use of MPE and carboplatin/5-FU resulted in a modest increase in total hematopoietic cell count compared to the substantial decrease observed with carboplatin/5-FU monotherapy. Parotid glands revealed that MPE partially restored parenchymal structure, characterized by reduced periductal fibrosis, fewer pyknotic nuclei, and milder acinar vacuolation. While some striated ducts still showed a loss of striation, excretory ducts exhibited partial improvement in cell lining in certain areas. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed these histological observations. MPE demonstrated myeloprotective effects on hematopoietic cells, improved weight loss, and reduced blood glucose levels. Furthermore, concurrent administration of MPE and carboplatin/5-FU significantly attenuated parotid gland injury induced by carboplatin/5-FU.
