The Anti-Cytokine Storm Activity of Quercetin Zinc and Vitamin C Complex.
Article in Advances in virology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Cytokine storm is one of the causative deaths in a patient with severe acute respiratory syndrome. This study aimed at evaluating the prophylaxis effect of quercetin complexes with zinc and buffered ascorbic acid upon cytokine storm induction in mice and identifying the complex's acute toxicity. Mice were randomly divided into three groups: group A, control group, received 0.9% normal saline; group B received 100 mg/kg of the complex one hour before lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration; and group C received the LPS IP 5 mg/kg. Then, levels of interleukin 1 and interleukin 6 were measured in the serum, and lung and kidney tissues were investigated for any changes that may have happened. Thirty mice were used to investigate the acute toxicity; mice were distributed into six groups: one control group and five treated groups; then several serial dilutions from the complex have been prepared for different concentrations from 5 g/kg to 0.312 g/kg. The animals were observed for 14 days. The LD
