Calycosin plays a protective role in diabetic kidney disease through the regulation of ferroptosis.
Article in Pharmaceutical biology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 54 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
contextDiabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a devastating complication of diabetes. Renal functional deterioration caused by tubular injury is the primary change associated with this disease. Calycosin shows protective roles in various diseases.
objectivesThis study explored the function and underlying mechanism of calycosin in DKD. MATERIALS AND
methodsHK-2 cells were treated with 25 mM high glucose (HG) to establish a renal tubule injury cell model. Then, the viability of cells treated with 0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 μM of calycosin was measured using Cell Counting Kit-8. For the
resultsHG-induced decreased expression of glutathione (491.57 ± 33.56 to 122.6 ± 9.78 μmol/mL) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (inhibition rate 92.3%) and increased expression of lactate dehydrogenase (3.85 ± 0.89 to 16.84 ± 2.18 U/mL), malondialdehyde (3.72 ± 0.66 to 18.2 ± 1.58 nmol/mL), lipid ROS (4.31-fold increase) and NCOA4 (7.69-fold increase). The effects induced by HG could be blocked by calycosin. Moreover, calycosin alleviated the HG-induced decrease of cell viability and the increase of lipid ROS, but erastin could block the effects caused by calycosin. The DISCUSSION AND
conclusionCalycosin has a protective effect on diabetic kidney disease; ferroptosis may be involved in this process.
