Evaluation of Effect of Montelukast in the Model of Streptozotocin Induced Diabetic Nephropathy in Rats.
Article in Indian journal of endocrinology and metabolism. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Diabetic nephropathy is a progressive condition and a leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Oxidative stress and inflammation play an important role in its pathogenesis. In pre-clinical studies, Montelukast had shown renoprotective and anti-oxidant properties, hence the study was planned to evaluate the effect of Montelukast in a Streptozotocin (STZ) induced model of diabetic nephropathy. Methods: 40 Wistar rats of either sex were randomly divided into four groups Results: Montelukast 10 mg/kg group showed significantly lower urine microalbumin levels compared to the vehicle control group (p < 0.05). Montelukast 20 mg/kg group showed significantly lower levels of FBG, serum creatinine, BUN and urine microalbumin compared to the vehicle control group (p < 0.05). In addition, Montelukast 20 mg/kg group also showed better effects on kidney MDA and GSH levels (p < 0.05) and histopathological scores compared to the vehicle control group. Conclusion: Montelukast showed a protective effect in the model of diabetic nephropathy because of its antioxidant effect.
