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

Diabetes mellitus (DM), a metabolic disease, is an important health problem with many complications, including male reproductive disorders. Hydroxytyrosol (HT), an active polyphenolic, is one of the compounds of olives, which has many proven health benefits. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the possible therapeutic benefits of HT on testicular tissue in model of DM caused by streptozotocin (STZ). In addition, the aim was to investigate the effects of HT on proinflammatory cytokines and OTULIN levels in testicular tissue in an experimental DM model. A total of 32 male rats were used in the 6-week study and the rats were divided equally into 4 groups. The control group was untreated, while rats in the DM group received a single dose of STZ to induce diabetes. After inducing experimental diabetes in the DM + HT group, 5 mg/kg/day Hydroxytyrosol was administered. The HT group received 5 mg/kg/day Hydroxytyrosol. After all treatments were completed, the experiment was terminated and testicular tissues were taken for analyses. Experimental DM model caused oxidative stress, histopathological changes, increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines, decrease in OTULIN levels and increase in apoptotic germ cells in testicular tissues. In contrast, HT supplementation to rats with experimental DM was found to modulate these adverse effects to a great extent. In conclusion, HT may have anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-diabetic effects against DM and related damage in testicular tissues by regulating OTULIN levels.
