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
This study investigated the potential benefits of propolis in mitigating the adverse effects of testosterone enanthate on the gene expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the kidney tissue of female Wistar rats undergoing resistance training. Testosterone enanthate, a commonly used anabolic steroid among female athletes, is known to impair kidney function through inflammatory and oxidative pathways. Twenty-four female Wistar rats (8 weeks old, weighing 208.22 ± 14.17 g) were obtained from the Pasteur Institute. After a one-week acclimatization period, the rats were randomly divided into three groups: 1) training + placebo (n = 8), 2) training + testosterone enanthate (n = 8), and 3) training + testosterone enanthate + propolis (n = 8). The 8-week resistance training program involved a 1-m vertical ladder with 26 steps and additional weights. Training occurred five days a week with two rest days. Rats in the testosterone enanthate group received injections of 20 mg/kg body weight. The other group received the same testosterone supplementation plus propolis via gavage at 400 mg/kg body weight, three times a week. TNF-α gene expression in the training + testosterone group was significantly higher than in the training + placebo (
