Pemafibrate, a PPAR alpha agonist, attenuates neointima formation after vascular injury in mice fed normal chow and a high-fat diet.
Article in Heliyon, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Recently, the prevention of cardiovascular events has become one of the most important aims of diabetes care. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists have been reported to have vascular protective effects. Here, we examined whether pemafibrate, a selective PPAR alpha agonist, attenuated neointima formation after vascular injury and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. We performed endothelial denudation injury in mice treated with a high-fat diet (HFD) or normal chow. Orally administered pemafibrate significantly attenuated neointima formation after vascular injury in HFD and normal chow mice. Interestingly, pemafibrate increased the serum fibroblast growth factor 21 concentration and decreased serum insulin concentrations in HFD mice. In addition, body weight was slightly but significantly decreased by pemafibrate in HFD mice. Pemafibrate, but not bezafibrate, attenuated VSMC proliferation
