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

Royal jelly acid (10-HDA), an unsaturated fatty acid unique to royal jelly, exhibits a diverse range of biological activities, including hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. In recent years, the increasing demand for natural product supplements as health enhancers has led to a significant rise in the consumption of royal jelly products for daily wellness. Consequently, the market for royal jelly supplements has expanded considerably. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the biological activities of royal jelly acid is crucial for optimizing its therapeutic applications and guiding the development of innovative royal jelly-based products. This review consolidates current research on the preparation, metabolism and potential pharmacological roles of royal jelly acid in managing cancer, inflammatory disorders, and glucolipid metabolic diseases and explores the molecular mechanisms driving these effects. Future research should leverage advanced analytical techniques to uncover the intricate mechanisms of royal jelly acid's actions, paving the way for its broader integration into healthcare and clinical settings.
