Lycopene-mediated mitigation of cadmium-induced nephrotoxicity in broilers is associated with restoring mitochondrial homeostasis.

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
Cadmium (Cd) is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant with high bioaccumulation potential, primarily targeting the kidney by inducing oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects and underlying molecular mechanisms of lycopene (LYC) against Cd-induced nephrotoxicity in broilers. In this study, Arbor Acres broilers were administered Cd-containing diets with or without LYC supplementation for 42 days and then assessed growth performance, serum biochemistry, and renal morphology. The results showed that LYC significantly reversed Cd-induced growth inhibition and renal histopathological damage. Further analysis revealed that the alleviating effect of LYC on Cd-driven renal impairment was linked to the regulation of the mitochondrial biogenesis, mitochondrial dynamics, and mitophagy. These results suggested that LYC mitigated Cd-induced nephrotoxicity in broilers were associated with the regulating of mitochondrial quality control-related factors and the restoration of mitochondrial homeostasis. Thereby, this study further demonstrates the mechanism by which LYC alleviates Cd-induced nephrotoxicity.
