Triptolide Induces Leydig Cell Apoptosis by Disrupting Mitochondrial Dynamics in Rats.
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Triptolide is widely used in the clinical treatment of various diseases. Side effects, including reproductive toxicity to male patients, limit its application. However, no detailed mechanisms or potential intervention targets have been reported. In this study, we show that triptolide activated the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway in rat testicular Leydig cells and induced apoptosis both
