Protective Effects of Mussaenda pubescens Leaf Extracts Against Oxidative Stress and Dyslipidemia.

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
objectiveMussaenda pubescens (Rubiaceae) is a medicinal plant, traditionally utilized for gastrointestinal, febrile, and reproductive ailments. This study was aimed at analyzing the antioxidant capacity and antihyperlipidemic efficacy of the methanolic extract of M. pubescens in a high-cholesterol diet-induced hyperlipidemic mouse model.
methodsTwenty-five Swiss albino mice were randomly subdivided into five groups of five mice each: normal control, disease control, atorvastatin (20 mg/kg), 200 mg/kg of the extract, and 400 mg/kg of the extract. Hyperlipidemia was achieved by feeding a high-fat diet for 28 days before the oral treatment was given for 12 consecutive days. The serum lipid profile and DPPH radical scavenging activity were then analyzed.
resultsThe extract improved the lipid abnormalities when compared with untreated hyperlipidemic mice (p < 0.05). At 200 mg/kg, LDL-C decreased to 11.25 ± 1.05 mg/dL, whereas the 400 mg/kg dose reduced TG and VLDL-C to 140.50 ± 6.50 and 28.10 ± 1.30 mg/dL, respectively. Atorvastatin demonstrated greater lipid normalization. The antioxidant activity was also shown by the extract with a DPPH assay, with an IC
conclusionThe methanolic extract of M. pubescens exhibits potent antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant activities, validating its potential as a promising phytotherapeutic candidate for the management of hyperlipidemia and oxidative stress-associated metabolic disorders. Further in-depth phytochemical profiling and mechanistic studies are required for better evaluation of this extract.
