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
Adaptogens are substances that act nonspecifically to combat stress by regulating the key elements involved in stress-induced pathologies. D-Ribose-L-cysteine (DRLC), a potent glutathione (GSH) booster, has been recommended for relief of stress. Hence, we investigated its adaptogenic-like effect in mice subjugated to unpredictable chronic mild stress (UCMS). Thirty six male Swiss mice were assigned to 6 groups (n = 6): group 1 received saline (p.o, non-stress control), group 2 (stress-control) also had saline, groups 3 to 5 received DRLC (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg, p.o) whereas group 6 had ginseng (50 mg/kg, p.o). The animals in groups 2-6 were subjugated to UCMS 30 min later, daily for 21 days and afterwards, tested for memory and anxiety. Blood glucose, serum corticosterone concentrations and adrenal weight were determined. The brain tissues were processed for estimation of malondialdehyde (MDA), GSH, superoxide-dismutase (SOD), catalase, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6, acetyl-cholinesterase, and caspase-3 activities. The histomorphologic features and neuronal viability of the hippocampus, amygdala and prefrontal cortex were also determined. DRLC (25-100 mg/kg) reduces anxiety, memory deficit, adrenal gland enlargement, glucose, and corticosterone concentrations in UCMS-mice. The increased brain contents of MDA, TNF-α, interleukin-6, acetyl-cholinesterase and decreased antioxidant (GSH, SOD and catalase) status induced by UCMS were attenuated by DRLC. The DRLC increased caspase-3 activity and reduces histomorphological distortions of neuronal cells of the hippocampus, amygdala and prefrontal cortex of stressed-mice. These findings suggest that DRLC has adaptogenic-like effect which might be related to modulation of corticosterone-mediated oxido-inflammatory processes and altered caspase-3 activity.
