Therapeutic effect of WGO in reducing the toxic effect of paracetamol on blood cells and hepato-nephro activity in male rats.

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
Background: Paracetamol (also called acetaminophen) overdose induces hepatotoxicity that can lead to liver failure. Liver poisoning occurs as a result of paracetamol poisoning when a toxic dose of paracetamol is taken, as the liver loses the ability to secrete the enzymes responsible for getting rid of the toxic paracetamol metabolites, and these metabolites begin to accumulate in the liver and bind to liver cells and destroying them. Although some studies state that paracetamol poisoning does not have a direct cardiotoxic effect, certain studies have shown ECG changes due to metabolic disturbance of hepatotoxicity. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of wheat germ oil (WGO) on the heart and liver activity of rats exposed to paracetamol toxicity. Methods: Eighteen adult male rats were randomly divided into three groups (six rats in each group). The first group was the control group, the second group was treated with paracetamol (250 mg/kg) only, and the third group was treated with paracetamol (250 mg/kg) and WGO (0.9 mg/kg) for 4 weeks (5 days a week only). Blood samples were taken at the end of 4 weeks to measure alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), urea, creatinine, albumin, and blood cell count. Results: The results showed that ALT, AST, urea, creatinine, albumin, and blood cell concentrations increased significantly in the paracetamol group, whereas the concentrations of these biochemicals decreased in rats treated with WGO. Conclusion: WGO administration could markedly improve the hepato-renal and heart activity against paracetamol damage and consequently may be used as a therapeutic agent against the systemic toxicity of the body by reducing inflammation, as in blood cell results.
