Ameliorative Effect of Empagliflozin and Linagliptin on Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity and Cardiotoxicity by Reducing Oxidative Stress.

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
Introduction: Cisplatin (CP) is a chemotherapeutic agent limited by its toxic effects on the heart and kidneys, resulting in nephrotoxicity and cardiotoxicity. This study investigated the protective effects of the antidiabetic drugs linagliptin (LINA) and empagliflozin (EMPA), alone and in combination, on cisplatin-induced heart and kidney damage in non-diabetic rats. Methods: Forty-nine rats were randomized into seven groups (n=7 each): control (saline; 10 mL/kg), cisplatin (CP; 10 mg/kg), empagliflozin (EMPA; 10 mg/kg), linagliptin (LINA; 3 mg/kg), and treatment groups (CP+EMPA, CP+LINA, and CP+EMPA+LINA). EMPA and LINA were administered orally for 10 days; CP was administered intraperitoneally on days 1 and 6 after treatment with EMPA, LINA, or both. Renal and cardiac injury biomarkers were measured in the blood. Hearts and kidney tissues from animals were extracted to assess reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations, as well as the activities of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX). Results: The CP-treated group showed elevated renal, cardiac, and oxidative stress markers. Conversely, the activities of SOD, GPX, and CAT were reduced in the CP-treated groups compared to the control. EMPA, LINA, or combination reduced creatinine, BUN, LDH, CK-MB, troponin I, and ROS levels. LINA showed weaker antioxidant effects in the heart than in the kidney or EMPA. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that LINA may have a weaker antioxidant effect in the heart than in the kidney or EMPA. Administration of the combinations (LINA+EMPA) affects MDA levels in CP-treated animals, with a significant reduction in the heart and kidney. Individual treatments do not significantly alter MDA levels. However, combined treatment significantly improves SOD, GPX, and CAT activities in the heart and kidney, indicating a superior protective effect, suggesting potential to mitigate CP-induced toxicity.
