1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Apigenin is a natural flavonoid abundantly found in fruits, vegetables, and medicinal plants. It possesses protective effects against cancer, metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, etc. Atherosclerosis, a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease, is the underlying cause of coronary heart disease, stroke, and myocardial infarction. Numerous in vivo and in vitro studies have shown a protective effect of apigenin against atherosclerosis, attributed to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as its antihypertensive effect and regulation of lipid metabolism. This study aimed to review the effects and mechanisms of apigenin against atherosclerosis for the first time. Apigenin displays encouraging results, and this review confirms the potential value of apigenin as a candidate medication for atherosclerosis.
