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

This study employed an integrated network toxicology and molecular docking approach to explore the molecular mechanisms by which the herbicide 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). We identified 89 common targets through the intersection of potential 2,4-D-related targets and NDD-associated genes. Among these, 12 core targets-including NFKB1, PPARG, SERPINE1, NOS3, and NFE2L2-were highlighted via protein-protein interaction network analysis. Functional enrichment revealed that these targets are involved in key pathways such as inflammatory response, oxidative stress, metabolic dysregulation, and synaptic dysfunction. Molecular docking further confirmed strong binding affinities between 2,4-D and all core targets (binding energy ≤ -5.1 kcal·mol
