Curcumin attenuates hydroxychloroquine-mediated apoptosis and oxidative stress via the inhibition of TRPM2 channel signalling pathways in a retinal pigment epithelium cell line.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeHydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is used in the treatment of several diseases, such as malaria, Sjögren's disease, Covid-19, and rheumatoid arthritis. However, HCQ induces retinal pigment epithelium death via the excessive increase of cytosolic (cROS) and mitochondrial (mROS) free oxygen radical production. The transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) cation channel is stimulated by ADP-ribose (ADPR), cROS, and mROS, although it is inhibited by curcumin (CRC). We aimed to investigate the modulating action of CRC on HCQ-induced TRPM2 stimulation, cROS, mROS, apoptosis, and death in an adult retinal pigment epithelial 19 (ARPE19) cell line model. MATERIAL AND
methodsARPE19 cells were divided into four groups: control (CNT), CRC (5 µM for 24 h), HCQ (60 µM for 48 h), and CRC + HCQ groups.
resultsThe levels of cell death (propidium iodide positive cell numbers), apoptosis markers (caspases -3, -8, and -9), oxidative stress (cROS and mROS), mitochondria membrane depolarization, TRPM2 current density, and intracellular free Ca
