1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Smoking is a major public health concern worldwide. The toxic components of cigarettes, such as nicotine, can cause abuse, dependence, and tissue damage. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of exposure to cigarette smoke on the renal morphology of Wistar rats. For this purpose, 12 male rats were used, divided into two groups (n = 6): CT Group (control) and CG Group (cigarette). The CG Group was exposed to smoke from six cigarettes per day. After 12 weeks, the rats were euthanized, and the kidneys were collected, weighed, and processed histologically for renal tissue analysis. Although the increase in renal weight was not statistically significant (p = 0.479), the CG Group exhibited significantly reduced values for glomerular diameter, capsular area (p < 0.0001), subcapsular area (p = 0.0045), and glomerular tuft area (p = 0.0049) compared to the CT Group. These results indicate that cigarette smoke exposure induces morphological changes in renal structure, even in the absence of significant weight alteration.
