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

Background: Tenofovir, a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), is a first-line therapy for HBV and HIV and is administered as tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) or tenofovir alafenamide (TAF). However, long-term use of TDF is linked to renal and other organ toxicities, which is largely attributed to oxidative stress mediated by xanthine oxidase (XO), a key enzyme in purine metabolism. To address this, plants with documented nephroprotective and XO-inhibitory properties were investigated through computational, Methods: Bioactive compounds from nine medicinal plants were subjected to computational screening for XO inhibition, leading to the selection of Results: Both AC and VN significantly mitigated TDF-induced elevations in serum biomarker levels, including creatinine, BUN, AST, ALT, GGT, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase, while enhancing albumin levels. They also restored the levels of oxidative stress markers such as MDA, GSH, catalase, and SOD. Histopathological examination confirmed substantial structural recovery of liver and kidney tissues. Conclusion: Overall, this preclinical study demonstrates that
