Protective Effects of Crude Plant Extracts against Aminochrome-induced toxicity in Human Astrocytoma Cells: Implications for Parkinson's Disease.
Article in Clinical pharmacology and translational medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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/
aimsAminochrome, an endogenous compound formed during dopamine oxidation can induce neurotoxicity under certain aberrant conditions and induce Parkinson-like syndrome. Glutathione transferase M2 (GSTM2) activity of astrocytes by catalysing the conjugation of aminochrome with glutathione, can offer protection against aminochrome toxicity. Some medicinal toxicity through this plants may exert protective effect against aminochrome mechanism.
methodsIn the present study, extracts from plants native to Cameroon, such as
resultsThe extract of A.
conclusionThe results indicate that extracts of some Cameroon plants can provide protection against aminochrome-induced toxicity and mitochondria dysfunction in human glioblastoma/astrocytoma cells. Although further identification of active components of these extracts is needed, potential usefulness of these compounds in Parkinson's disease may be suggested.
