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

The current research investigated the adverse effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZONPs) at an exposure level of 6 mg/L in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and studied the mitigating potential of dietary interventions of ginger (GN) and turmeric (TUR), each with 10 g/kg basal diet, against these adverse effects of ZONPs. Fish (n = 240, average weight = 26.13 ± 0.03 g) were randomly arranged into six groups in four replicates for 45 days. The first (control), second, and third groups were fed on basal, GN, and TUR diets and maintained in ZONPs-free water. The fourth, fifth, and sixth groups were subjected to waterborne ZONPs at a concentration of 6 mg/L and fed on the basal, GN, and TUR diets, respectively. Exposure to ZONPs induced growth inhibition, and hepatic (higher alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase) and renal (higher urea and creatinine) dysfunction in C. carpio. ZONPs exposure elevated the serum levels of cortisol and reduced the levels of total proteins, albumin, and globulin. Furthermore, oxidative damage (increased malondialdehyde and decreased catalase, reduced glutathione, and superoxide dismutase) and immune dysfunction (decreased myeloperoxidase, lysozyme, and nitric oxide) were consequences of ZONPs exposure. ZONPs exposure evoked necrotic and inflammatory lesions in the intestine, liver, and kidney tissues. Feeding on TUR followed by GN diets improved the C. carpio growth, modulated the hepato-renal functions, and restored the tissue architecture of the intestine, liver, and kidney during ZONPs exposure. TUR, followed by GN dietary interventions, improved the antioxidant-immune responses and survivability of C. carpio evoked by ZONPs exposure. In line with the findings of the current research, we advise adding TUR and GN at 10 g/kg basal diets to the C. carpio diet to mitigate the ZONPs’ deleterious impacts.
