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
To confirm the protective mechanism of genistein on osteoarthritis (OA). Firstly, we constructed an anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) rat model and administered two doses of genistein via gavage. The effects of the drug on cartilage damage repair and synovitis in OA rats were evaluated through pain-related behavioral assessments, pathological staining, detection of inflammatory factors, and western blot analysis. Secondly, we constructed IL-1-induced chondrocytes and synovial fibroblast models, co-incubated them with genistein, and evaluated the protective effects of genistein on both types of cells through cell apoptosis and cytoskeleton staining. To verify the role of this pathway, we applied the GSK3β inhibitor TWS119 and the Wnt/β-catenin inhibitor XAV939 to ACLT rats and two types of cells to analyze the potential mechanism of genistein's action on OA. Our results confirmed the protective effect of genistein on joint cartilage injury in ACLT rats and its alleviating effect on synovitis. The results of cell experiments showed that genistein can protect IL-1β-induced chondrocytes and synovial fibroblasts, inhibit IL-1β-induced cell apoptosis, increase the fluorescence intensity of F-actin, and inhibit inflammatory response. The results of in vivo and in vitro mechanism studies indicated that TWS119 and XAV939 can attenuate the protective effects of genistein on OA rats and IL-1-induced cell damage. Our research confirmed that genistein may be an effective drug for treating osteoarthritis. Furthermore, we discussed and confirmed that the GSK3β/Wnt/β-catenin axis serves as a downstream signaling pathway of genistein, providing theoretical support for its application.
