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

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the hepatoprotective and antifibrotic effects of DSF in a rat model of CCl Background: Liver fibrosis is a chronic and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by fibroblast proliferation and excessive extracellular matrix deposition. Oxidative stress and inflammation are central mechanisms in its pathogenesis. Disulfiram (DSF), known for its antioxidant and potential antifibrotic properties, may attenuate liver injury. Methods: Thirty-five male Wistar rats were randomly divided into seven groups (n = 5 per group): Control, Oil, DSF 25 mg/kg, DSF 50 mg/kg, CCl Results: CCl Conclusion: Low-dose DSF demonstrated hepatoprotective effects through improvements in biochemical markers and hepatocyte morphology, but failed to significantly attenuate fibrosis. These findings suggest that lower DSF concentrations (< 25 mg/kg) may offer greater antifibrotic potential and should be further investigated in dose-response studies.
