Possible potentials of curcumin for pregnancies complicated by intra-uterine growth restriction: role of inflammation, angiogenesis, and oxidative stress.
Review in Heliyon, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesSo far, various etiologies have been stated for Intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) with a wide variety of pathways involved in their pathogenesis. Among these pathways, impaired angiogenesis, inflammation, and oxidative stress are among the most important ones. Curcumin has raised notable attention due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity in different
methodsA narrative review study was conducted (Iran; 2020). The implemented Mesh-based keywords were "Curcumin" OR "Turmeric" AND "Therapeutic effect" AND "Side effect" OR "Adverse effect" OR "Teratogenic effect" OR "Teratogenicity" AND "Pregnancy" AND "Intra-uterine growth restriction" OR "Intra-uterine growth retardation" AND "Inflammation" AND "Oxidative stress" AND "Angiogenesis". Cochrane Library, PubMed, Up to date, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases were used as academic search engines.
resultsReviewing the included studies showed the dual effects of curcumin on angiogenesis depend on the type of angiogenesis: physiological or pathological. Interestingly, the present study evaluated the current knowledge on the effects of curcumin on IUGR demonstrating acceptable potentials. Also, we tried to gather studies that had evaluated the safety of curcumin during pregnancy.
conclusionGathering all the data, it seems curcumin could be an acceptable candidate for future animal and human studies on IUGR.
