Intrastriatal Quinolinic Acid Administration Impairs Redox Homeostasis and Induces Inflammatory Changes: Prevention by Kynurenic Acid.
Article in Neurotoxicity research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
Kynurenic acid (KYNA) and quinolinic acid (QUIN) are metabolites formed in the degradation of tryptophan (Trp). QUIN is a selective NMDA receptor antagonist and may exert neurotoxic effects, whereas KYNA is an agonist of glutamatergic and cholinergic receptors and presents antioxidant properties. KYNA/QUIN ratio is decreased in several central nervous system disorders, but the mechanisms involved are not well elucidated. In the present study, we try to determine the neuroprotective capacity of KYNA on the QUIN effects in redox homeostasis changes (H
