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

introductionTangeretin (TAN), a polymethoxylated flavone from citrus peels, exhibits neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. This study aims to evaluate the memory-enhancing effects of TAN in Swiss mice and explore its potential molecular interactions with the D

methodsSwiss mice were administered TAN (10 and 20 mg/kg), DOP (22 mg/kg), and olanzapine (OLN) (2 mg/kg), alone and in combinations per orally (p.o.), followed by cognitive assessments using marble burying, dust removal, and trained swimming tests. In silico studies included molecular docking against the D

resultsTAN significantly (p < 0.05) improved cognitive functions, including memory, anxiety, and motor coordination, in a dose-dependent manner, with 20 mg/kg showing the most notable effect. The combination of TAN-10 with DOP-22 enhanced these benefits, whereas TAN-10 with OLN-2 reduced cognitive improvements. TAN-treated Swiss mice showed better performance in marble burying, dust removal, and trained swimming tests, indicating enhanced memory, problem-solving, and motor coordination. These results suggest TAN's potential in cognitive enhancement, particularly with DOP-22. No deaths were observed in any treatment group, and all treated animals exhibited normal physiological activity with no signs of acute toxicity. In silico studies revealed that TAN exhibited the strongest binding affinity (BA) (-6.6 kcal/mol) with the D

conclusionThese findings highlight TAN's potential as a promising therapeutic candidate for memory-related disorders, warranting further clinical exploration.
