Protective effect of proteins extracted from Plumeria pudica latex on ethanol-induced gastric injury in mice.
Article in Acta cirurgica brasileira, 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
purposeTo evaluate proteins from Plumeria pudica latex (LPPp) for their protective effect against ethanol-induced gastric injury in mice.
methodsThe LPPp fraction was obtained by collecting P. pudica latex in tubes containing distilled water, followed by centrifugation and dialysis. The female Swiss mice (Mus musculus) received saline or LPPp (40 mg/kg) intraperitoneally 1 hour before oral administration of 500 μL of 50% ethanol. One hour later, the animals were euthanized, and their stomachs were removed for evaluation of tissue lesion area, histopathological analysis, and measurements of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and nitrate/nitrite (NO3/NO2). An independent experiment assessed the effect of LPPp on gastric mucus production.
resultsThe LPPp-treated animals showed a significant reduction in the mean injured areas of gastric tissue (0.73 ± 1.01 mm2) compared to the ethanol group (37.99 ± 3.11 mm2). Histopathological analysis revealed significant preservation of tissue architecture in the LPPp group compared to ethanol group. Additionally, LPPp maintained tissue levels of MDA, GSH, SOD, and NO3/NO2 comparable to the saline group and influenced gastric mucus production favorably (p < 0.05).
conclusionThese results suggested that LPPp has a protective effect against ethanol-induced gastric lesions, likely involving antioxidant activity and increased gastric mucus production.
