Valsartan Mitigates the Progression of Methotrexate-Induced Acute Kidney Injury in Rats via the Attenuation of Renal Inflammation and Oxidative Stress.
Article in Journal of inflammation research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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: Methotrexate (MTX) is a folic acid antagonist, commonly administered for the treatment of a variety of cancers. However, methotrexate toxicity including bone marrow suppression and hepatic and renal toxicity limits its use. Angiotensin AT Methods: Twenty-four Wistar rats were randomly segregated into 3 groups. Group 1 served as the control group and received an oral dose of 1mL/kg of normal saline. Group 2 received a single dose of 20 mg/kg of MTX intraperitoneally (IP) for 5 days. Group 3 received a single IP dose of 20 mg/kg of MTX followed by an oral dose of 10 mg/kg of Valsartan for 5 days. At the end of the experiment, the levels of serum kidney biomarkers, inflammatory and oxidative stress markers were accessed. Furthermore, the effect of MTX on kidney tissue histology was examined. Results and discussion: Our results showed that MTX treatment increased the level of serum kidney and inflammatory biomarkers and decreased the level of antioxidants SOD and GSH while increasing the lipid peroxidation contents. Furthermore, MTX treatment caused structural changes to kidney histology. However, the administration of Val significantly prevented these changes. Conclusion: Valsartan possesses nephroprotective potential and might serve as a potential therapeutic strategy against MTX-induced kidney injury.
