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

Stigmasterol is a plant-derived phytosterol that has attracted considerable attention because of its diverse biological activities and potential therapeutic applications. In this review, the chemical properties, biosynthesis, and biological effects of stigmasterol are exhaustively summarized. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, neuroprotective, and hypolipidemic activities of stigmasterol have been discussed. Findings from various in vitro and in vivo studies have revealed its potential in treating various diseases, including cancer, diabetes, neurological disorders, and inflammatory conditions. The mechanisms underlying these effects are also discussed, particularly emphasizing the regulation of key signaling pathways and molecular targets, to further clarify the therapeutic role of stigmasterol. This review would provide a reference for further exploring the utility of stigmasterol as a therapeutic agent, thereby contributing to the improvement of human health.
