Protective Effect of Sulfur-Containing Heterocyclic Analogs Against Acrylamide-Induced Behavioral and Biochemical Alterations in Zebrafish.
Article in Molecular neurobiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Acrylamide (ACR) is a water-soluble monomer with broad consumer applications, even in foods due to thermal processes. Acute exposure to ACR may lead to neurotoxic effects such as ataxia and skeletal muscle weakness in humans and experimental animals. Oxidative stress is the primary pathway in ACR toxicity; therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the possible protective effect of benzo[b]thiophene analogs as an antioxidant drug for ACR poisoning. For this purpose, adult zebrafish were chosen as the experimental model considering the 3Rs of research. Hydroxyl containing benzo[b]thiophene analogs, 1-(3-hydroxybenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl) ethanone (BP) and 1-(3-hydroxybenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl) propan-1-one hydrate (EP) were injected via intraperitoneal (i.p.) route at an effective dose of 5 mg/kg one hour before the exposure of ACR (0.75 mM) for three days. ACR fish showed aberrant socio-behavior with low exploration, tight circling, negative scototaxis, disrupted aggression, and tight shoaling. These results indicated depression comorbid and anxiety-like phenotype. BP and EP partially reduced the aberrant socio-behavior. BP and EP elevated the antioxidant defense and reduced the oxidative damage in the brain caused by ACR. Cellular and tissular alterations caused by ACR were visualized through histopathological study. BP and EP administration reduced and repaired the cellular changes via the antioxidant mechanism. BP and EP altered the axonal growth and regeneration gene and synaptic vesicle cycle gene expression necessary for neurotransmission. This combined gain-of-function of redox mechanism at molecular, cellular, and tissular levels explains the behavioral improvement at the organismal level of the organization.
