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

Vincristine (VIN) is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent whose therapeutic application is substantially constrained by concentration-dependent toxicities, including nephrotoxicity. This study aimed to characterize the renoprotective capacity of hesperidin (HES) in a VIN-induced nephrotoxicity model and to delineate the mechanisms underlying its protective action. Twenty-eight female Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: control, HES (200 mg/kg), VIN (0.17 mg/kg), and VIN (0.17 mg/kg) + HES (200 mg/kg), with all treatments administered for 7 consecutive days. Renal function markers, oxidative stress parameters, apoptosis- and autophagy-related gene expression, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling components, and histopathological alterations were evaluated. VIN administration significantly increased serum urea and creatinine levels, lipid peroxidation, and oxidative DNA damage, while reducing antioxidant defenses (p < 0.05). VIN also induced marked apoptosis, evidenced by increased tumor protein p53 (p53), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), Caspase-3, and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) expression and decreased B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) levels, together with enhanced autophagy and suppression of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling (p < 0.05). These molecular changes were accompanied by severe renal histopathological damage (p < 0.05). HES supplementation significantly attenuated these effects by restoring antioxidant capacity, reducing inflammatory cytokines, suppressing apoptosis, modulating autophagy-related gene expression, and partially restoring PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling (p < 0.05). Histopathological findings further confirmed the protective effect of HES against VIN-induced renal injury (p < 0.05). In conclusion, HES exerts renoprotective effects against VIN-induced nephrotoxicity by modulating interconnected oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways, suggesting its potential as a multi-target agent for preventing chemotherapy-associated renal injury in this experimental model.
