Antidiabetic effects of fennel leaf aqueous extract in alloxan-induced diabetic rats.
Article in Journal of pharmaceutical health care and sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundDiabetes Mellitus is a common chronic metabolic disease in the world population. There is evidences on the anti-hyperglycemic effects of different parts of fennel; however, the reports about antidiabetic activity of fennel leaves are not enough. In this experiment, effects of fennel leaf aqueous extract on biochemical alterations and the histopathology of the pancreas in alloxan induced diabetic rats were studied.
methodsFifty adult male rats were divided into five groups: the non-diabetic and the diabetic control groups, and three diabetic groups treated with different doses of fennel leaf extract (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg/day). Blood glucose, body weight, serum insulin and C-peptide levels were determined. The pancreas histology was evaluated by preparation of paraffin sections. They were stained using hematoxylin and eosin stain. Morphometrically, the mean number and the area of the islets of Langerhans were measured.
resultsFennel leaf extract in different doses caused a reduction in blood glucose, and an increase in body weight, serum insulin and C-peptide. In diabetic treated rats, fennel leaf extract significantly increased the number and area of the Islets of Langerhans.
conclusionsOur results indicated the anti-hyperglycemic effects of fennel leaf extract and morphologic improvement of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans in alloxan induced diabetic rats.
