Integrative use of murine and zebrafish models for acute toxicity observation of ethanolic extract of Ocimum sanctum Linn.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 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
Background: Ocimum sanctum is used as a natural treatment for a variety of conditions and has been proven to possess a diverse array of therapeutic functions supported by pharmacological evidence. Aim: This study investigated the acute toxicity and determined the safe doses of O. sanctum Linn. ethanolic extracts, commonly used in traditional herbal medicine, using zebrafish embryos and murine models. Methods: Acute oral toxicity was used on 25 adult male Deutschland, Denken, and Yoken albino mice weighing 35-45 g, which were divided into five groups based on Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development 423. The O. sanctum Linn. Ethanolic extracts were given once and followed by observation for 15 days, after which the mice were sacrificed for hematological, biochemical, macroscopic, and histopathological organ analysis. The acute toxicity test for zebrafish embryos used five treatment concentrations, where one concentration group used 20 embryos placed on a plate and observed every 24-96 hours. Observations include hatchability, life or death of zebrafish embryos based on the occurrence of embryo coagulation, somite formation, tail release, and observations of abnormalities, including the presence or absence of heart rate. Results: The analysis results show the O. sanctum Linn. ethanolic extract proposes no toxicity according to acute oral toxicity in mice model and is considered relatively safe with an LC50 classification of category V (100 mg/L< LC50) in the zebrafish embryo acute toxicity test. Conclusion: These studies conducted by a combination of mice and zebrafish models have collectively demonstrated that the ethanolic extract of O. sanctum Linn. is safe for use.
