Evaluation of receptor-interacting protein kinases (RIP1 and RIP3) in the therapeutic effect of thymoquinone against rat testis ischemia/reperfusion.
Article in Molecular and cellular biochemistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Torsion-induced ischemia causes lipid peroxidation in tissue, increases membrane permeability, and induces irreversible necroptosis in cells. The aim was to investigate the effects of thymoquinone (THQ) on receptor-interacting serine-threonine kinases (RIP1 and RIP3) after testicular torsion-induced ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Control, ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), thymoquinone (THQ) 10 mg/kg and ischemia/reperfusion + thymoquinone (I/R+THQ). At the end of the experiment, spermiogram, histological and immunohistochemical, gene expression and biochemical analyses were performed on testicular tissue by collecting blood samples. Motility, testicular tissue seminiferous tubule epithelium thickness, tubule diameter and JTBS decreased in the I/R group compared to the Control and THQ groups.Both gene expression and immunoreactivity intensities of RIP1 and RIP3 increased in I/R. Furthermore, glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and androgen-binding protein (ABP) decreased, steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), blood testosterone, and luteinizing hormone (LH) increased, and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) remained unchanged. THQ had a regulatory effect on all parameters. In addition to histopathological findings in testicular tissue, changes in RIP1, RIP3, GDNF, and StAR expression after I/R caused damage to both spermatogenic and non-spermatogenic tissue cell lines. Furthermore, changes in hormone levels indicate tissue dysfunction. The results reveal novel findings suggesting that THQ, applied after I/R, may be an effective compound for improving the structural and functional integrity of tissue; however, these findings need to be confirmed using various techniques with different application times and doses.
