Hypoglycemic effects of Caesalpinia bonduc (L). Roxb leaf extract in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
Article in Pediatric endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism, 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
introductionDiabetes mellitus remains a critical global health challenge, necessitating effective therapeutic interventions.
aimThis study evaluated the hypoglycemic and pancreatic protective effects of Caesalpinia bonduc leaf extract in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. MATERIAL AND
methodsTwenty-five diabetic rats were randomly assigned to treatment groups receiving 150, 200, and 400 mg/kg leaf extract, glibenclamide (positive control), and placebo for two weeks. Blood glucose levels were measured at baseline, after STZ induction, and at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 24 hours after treatment. Histological assessments of pancreatic tissue were performed, and phytochemical screening identified flavonoids, tannins, and saponins.
resultsThe extract significantly reduced blood glucose levels, with the 150, 200, and 400 mg/kg doses lowering glucose from baseline averages of 237.40 ±7.81 mg/dl, 324.00 ±42.26 mg/dl, and 336.00 ±23.34 mg/dl to 103.00 ±4.60 mg/dl, 199.40 ±67.73 mg/dl, and 116.20 ±8.65 mg/dl, respectively, at 6 hours after treatment. Histopathological improvements included reduced necrosis, inflammation, and improved pancreatic morphology.
conclusionsThese findings underscore the extract's dual mechanisms of action - antioxidant protection and insulin secretion enhancement - likely driven by flavonoids. The robust hypoglycemic response and pancreatic tissue protection provided by C. bonduc leaf extracts highlight their potential as valuable adjuncts in diabetes therapy. Further clinical evaluations and mechanistic studies are necessary to substantiate their clinical applicability.
