Tetrahydrohyperforin prevents articular cartilage degeneration and affects autophagy in rats with osteoarthritis.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent disease, which is associated with extracellular matrix degradation and cell death in articular cartilage. The aim of the present study was to identify whether tetrahydrohyperforin (IDN5706) ameliorates the degeneration of articular cartilage and affects autophagy in OA. The rat model of experimental OA was induced by intra-articular injection of collagenase solution. IDN5706 was administered intragastrically to rats for 6 weeks. Histopathological changes in articular cartilage were examined using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and safranin O staining, and Mankin scoring systems. The effect of IDN5706 on autophagy was examined using western blotting. ELISA was performed to detect cartilage inflammation. H&E and safranin O staining, Mankin scores, and electron microscopy indicated that IDN5706 could lessen the degeneration of articular cartilage in OA rats. In addition, western blotting revealed that IDN5706 treatment may activate the suppressed autophagy in OA rats. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that IDN5706 was able to reduce the severity of experimental OA, alleviate the degeneration of articular cartilage, and affect autophagy in OA model rats.
