Article in Open veterinary journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Betamethasone (BM) is a long-acting synthetic fluorinated glucocorticoid with metabolic, immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-proliferative effects. However, its use is associated with adverse effects, particularly on the liver and kidneys. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of Spirulina and Lagenaria siceraria against bone marrow-induced adverse effects in rats. Methods: Sixty male Wistar albino rats were divided into six groups and treated for three successive weeks. The control group received distilled water orally on a daily basis water daily, the BM group, BM and Spirulina group, BM and Results: BM caused a significant increase in serum urea, uric acid, and creatinine levels. Liver function was disturbed as liver enzymes showed significant increases in alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and glutathione triphosphate (GGT), and decreased total protein, albumin, and globulin. Sodium, potassium, and calcium levels significantly decreased. The lipid profiles showed an increase in HDL cholesterol, VLDL, serum cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and TGs. The oxidant and oxidant status showed an increase in MDA and a decrease in superoxide dismutase and total antioxidant capacity. Increases in the random blood glucose, insulin level (fasting), and hemostatic insulin assignment of insulin resistance, PTH, and increased TGF-β and IL6 in the liver, kidney, and spleen were also recorded. Spirulina and Conclusion: Spirulina and/or
