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

Endothelial dysfunction is a key pathophysiological basis of atherosclerosis (AS). Potential mechanisms by which Hcy causes vascular injury include inhibiting endothelial cell growth, inducing endothelial dysfunction, and promoting vascular remodeling. Suppression of GPX4 synthesis can lead to exacerbated lipid peroxidation, triggering ferroptosis. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether ginsenoside Re attenuates homocysteine (Hcy)-induced endothelial cell ferroptosis by upregulating glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). After treating EA.hy926 cells with different concentrations of Hcy for 24 h, cell viability was assessed using an MTT assay to determine the appropriate concentrations of Hcy for establishing a cell damage model. EA.hy926 cells were then divided into the following four groups: Control group, Hcy group, low-dose ginsenoside Re + Hcy group and high-dose ginsenoside Re + Hcy group. Cell viability was assessed using an MTT assay, whereas the BODIPY
