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

Background: Monosodium glutamate (MSG), a common food additive, is known to enhance taste and flavour. However, increasing evidence suggests that elevated MSG intake is linked to neuronal pathologies and death. Methods: This study was carried out using 49 Swiss albino mice, classified into seven groups of 7 mice each. The negative control group (group 1) received distilled water (10 mL/kg) throughout this experiment. The positive control group received MSG (2 g/kg) and distilled water (10 mL/kg). Reference standard 1 (RS1) received vitamin C (100 mg/kg) and reference standard 2 (RS2) received donepezil (3 mg/kg). Doses 1, 2, and 3 groups received MSG concomitantly with aqueous extract of Results: MSG induced oxidative stress, poor muscle coordination, and spatial short-term memory impairment in mice. The Conclusion: Results suggest that
