Protective effect of green tea extract on chlorpyrifos induced toxicity in liver of male mice.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Pesticides are vital for boosting agricultural yields and ensuring global food security, yet they have far-reaching ecological consequences that impact diverse species across trophic levels. Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is a prevalent but controversial organophosphate pesticide that acts as an endocrine disruptor, oxidative stress inducer, and hepatotoxic agent. This research was designed to examine the potential of green tea extract to reverse the functional and structural alterations induced by CPF in male albino mice and to evaluate any related hepatotoxicity associated with green tea extract. The experimental protocol lasted for 28 days, with adult male mice (N = 40) assigned to one of four experimental cohorts (n = 10 per group): (i) Control (untreated): standard diet and water; (ii) Green Tea: 20 mg/kg/day sole GT extract; (iii) CPF: 25 mg/kg/day CPF (dissolved in corn oil); (iv) CPF + GT: 25 mg/kg/day CPF in corn oil and 20 mg/kg/day GT extract, with 2-hour gap. Results demonstrated that CPF administration induced hepatomegaly (p < 0.01) and reduced the body weight significantly (p < 0.05). Histological analysis revealed an increase in binucleated hepatocytes (p < 0.05), tissue loosening, portal vein necrosis and enlarged mononucleated hepatocytes and nuclear diameter (p < 0.001). Serum Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) were elevated (p < 0.01), while a significant decrease in albumin levels was observed (p < 0.05). Conversely, co-administration of green tea mitigated these effects, restoring liver weight and hepatocyte count, promoting hepatic tissue regeneration, and improving serum liver enzyme and protein levels.
