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

Cypermethrin, a type II synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, is a pervasive environmental contaminant of growing concern owing to its ecological persistence and potential health risks. This study combined network toxicology and molecular docking to investigate the role of cypermethrin in neurodegenerative diseases. Potential targets of cypermethrin were predicted using the Similarity Ensemble Approach, SwissTargetPrediction, PharmMapper, and Comparative Toxicogenomics Database. Disease-related targets were sourced from GeneCards, the Therapeutic Target Database, and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man. In total, 108 overlapping targets were identified. The core targets were prioritized using STRING 12.0 and Cytoscape (Version: 3.10.0), followed by functional enrichment analysis. The results indicated the significant involvement of cancer-related pathways, endocrine resistance, and PI3K-AKT signaling. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations confirmed the strong affinity of cypermethrin for CREBBP, GSK3B, and ALB. These findings provide a foundation for the development of diagnostic tools for diseases linked to cypermethrin exposure, although further experimental and clinical validation is necessary.
