Effects of Ethanol Extract from Senna Leaf (EESL) on Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Mice: A Non-targeted Metabolomic Study.
Article in Endocrine, metabolic & immune disorders drug targets, 2025. 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
backgroundSenna leaf is a commonly used medication for treating constipation, and long-term use can cause damage to the intestinal mucosa and lead to drug dependence. But the exact mechanism remains unclear.
objectiveUsing non-targeted metabolomics technology to study the mechanism of senna leaf ethanol extract (EESL) inducing inflammation and oxidative stress in mice and causing side effects.
methodsEESL was administered to mice by gavage to detect inflammation and oxidative stressrelated factors in mice, and the EESL components and differential metabolites in mouse plasma were analyzed using non-targeted metabolome techniques.
results23 anthraquinone compounds were identified in the EESL, including sennoside and their derivatives. Administration of EESL to mice resulted in a significant increase in pro-inflammatory factors, IL-1β, and IL-6 in the plasma, while the levels of IgA significantly decreased. The levels of oxidative stress significantly increased, and the intestinal mucosal integrity was impaired. 21 endogenous in plasma metabolites were identified as differential metabolites related with taurine and taurine metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, and sphingolipid metabolism. These metabolic pathways are related to oxidative stress and inflammation.
conclusionSenna leaf can inhibit the expression of tight junction proteins in the intestinal mucosa and disrupt intestinal mucosal barrier integrity, exacerbating oxidative stress and inflammation induced by bacterial LPS entering the bloodstream. In addition, the impact of Senna leaf on tryptophan metabolism may be linked to the occurrence of drug dependence.
