An evaluation of the effects of ascorbic acid on the endothelium of coronary and aorta arteries in lead-intoxicated rabbits.
Article in SAGE open medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06995586 (The Synergistic Action of Vitamins and Dietary Supplements in Patients With Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting for Improving the Quality of Healthcare Delivery.), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Objectives: Lead exposure has destructive effects on some organs. It may produce a variety of toxic effects on endothelial cells of the vascular system. Any changes or damages to endothelial cells may lead to cardiovascular diseases, particularly the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. The aim of this study was to determine the ameliorative effects of ascorbic acid on the endothelium of coronary and aorta arteries in lead-exposed rabbits. Methods: In this study, 30 white male rabbits of New Zealand race (weighing about 1.6-2 kg and 5 months old) were used and divided randomly into three groups: Group 1 ( Results: The results indicated that ascorbic acid could reduce the destructive effects of lead on vascular endothelial cells and prevent the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in coronary and aorta arteries. Conclusion: The results of this study confirm the beneficial effects of ascorbic acid against the destructive effects of lead on vascular endothelial cells. Hence, it could be proposed as a potential prophylactic treatment for the amelioration of lead toxicity, prevention of atherosclerosis, and improvement of endothelial cells dysfunction.
