Procyanidin B2 Alleviates Palmitic Acid-Induced Injury in HepG2 Cells via Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Pathway.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome featuring ectopic lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. NAFLD has been a severe threat to humans with a global prevalence of over 25% yet no approved drugs for the treatment to date. Previous studies showed that procyanidin B2 (PCB2), an active ingredient from herbal cinnamon, has an excellent hepatoprotective effect; however, the mechanism remains inconclusive. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effect and underlying mechanism of PCB2 on PA-induced cellular injury in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Our results showed that PA-induced oxidative stress, calcium disequilibrium, and subsequent endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) mediated cellular injury, with elevated protein levels of GRP78, GRP94, CHOP, and hyperphosphorylation of PERK and IRE1
