Article in Neurochemical research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Medicarpin, a pterocarpan class of naturally occurring phytoestrogen possesses various biological functions. However, the effect of medicarpin on oxygen-glucose deprivation-reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced injury in human cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (HCMECs) remains largely unknown. Target genes of medicarpin were predicted from PharmMapper. Target genes of ischemic stroke were predicted from public databases GeneCards and DisGeNET. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment of the intersecting targets was analyzed via DAVID 6.8. Cell viability was evaluated using CCK-8 assay. Malondialdehyde content, superoxide dismutase activity, and glutathione level were detected using corresponding commercially available kits. Cell death was assessed by TUNEL assays. Expression of protein kinase B (Akt), phosphorylated-Akt, forkhead box protein O1, phosphorylated-FoxO1, FoxO3a, and phosphorylated-FoxO3a (p-FoxO3a) was detected by western blot analysis. The intersecting targets of medicarpin and ischemic stroke were significantly enriched in phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt and FoxO pathways. Medicarpina attenuated OGD/R-evoked viability inhibition, oxidative stress, and cell death in HCMECs. Additionally, medicarpin activated the PI3K/Akt and FoxO pathways in OGD/R-induced HCMECs. Inhibition of PI3K/Akt pathway abrogated the neuroprotective effect of medicarpin on OGD/R-induced injury and activation of FoxO pathway in HCMECs. In conclusion, medicarpin suppressed OGD/R-induced injury in HCMECs by activating PI3K/Akt/FoxO pathway.
