Effects of white ginseng on reducing stress and tension by enhancing default mode network connectivity: A randomized, double-blinded placebo-controlled clinical trial.
Article in Journal of ginseng research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Background: Recent research has increasingly focused on the potential role of white ginseng ( Methods: A total of 86 participants reporting stress-related symptoms were randomized to receive either PGC (n = 42) or a placebo (n = 44). Stress levels were assessed using a composite stress index, which was derived from self-reported measures, skin conductance response, and heart rate variability, at baseline, week 6, and week 12. Additionally, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging was conducted at the same time points. Results: PGC treatment resulted in a statistically significant reduction in the composite stress index compared to placebo ( Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that PGC has the potential to mitigate stress and tension, potentially through the modulation of DMN functional connectivity.
