Taurine Enhances Iron-Related Proteins and Reduces Lipid Peroxidation in Differentiated C2C12 Myotubes.
Article in Antioxidants (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Taurine is a nonproteinogenic amino sulfonic acid in mammals. Interestingly, skeletal muscle is unable to synthesize taurine endogenously, and the processing of muscular taurine changes throughout ageing and under specific pathophysiological conditions, such as muscular dystrophy. Ageing and disease are also associated with altered iron metabolism, especially when there is an excess of labile iron. The present study addresses the question of whether taurine connects cytoprotective effects and redox homeostasis in a previously unknown iron-dependent manner. Using cultured differentiated C2C12 myotubes, the impact of taurine on markers of lipid peroxidation, redox-sensitive enzymes and iron-related proteins was studied. Significant increases in the heme protein myoglobin and the iron storage protein ferritin were observed in response to taurine treatment. Taurine supplementation reduced lipid peroxidation and BODIPY oxidation by ~60 and 25%, respectively. Furthermore, the mRNA levels of redox-sensitive heme oxygenase
