Date seeds powder alleviate the aflatoxin B1 provoked heart toxicity in male offspring rat.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. 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
Date (Phoenix dactylifera L.) seeds (PDL) have recently evoked significant attention for their therapeutic potential against numerous diseases. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is an inevitable environmental hazard that pollutes foods and may harm the heart. This study investigated the beneficial effect of PDL against cardiac toxicity induced by AFB1 in male offspring. Female albino rats received PDL (200 mg/kg) orally for 14 days before mating till weaning and AFB1 (50 μg/kg) intramuscularly throughout gestation and lactation. At postnatal day 60, male offspring hearts were collected. Compared to AFB1 intoxicated group, PDL-treated offspring displayed improved cardiac biomarkers, an increase in their antioxidant defense, and a decrease in the cardiac proinflammatory cytokines. Additionally, a reduction in the expression levels of Bcl2 and Nrf2 was observed, with genes linked to increased cardiac caspase-3, Bax, ACE1, P53, and cytochrome C levels. In conclusion, PDL acts as a potential adjuvant agent for ameliorating cardiac toxicity and apoptosis resulting from exposure to AFB1. This is attributed to its antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as its capacity to sequester free radicals within cardiac tissue.
