Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) regulates cell cycle progression and promotes an anti-inflammatory transcriptomic signature in C2C12 skeletal muscle cells.
Article in Physiological reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an endogenous lipid mediator with immunomodulatory actions, yet its effects in skeletal muscle remain poorly defined. We examined whether PEA influences myogenesis and profiled the acute transcriptomic response of differentiated C2C12 myotubes to 10 μM PEA. PEA decreased myotube number (90.3 ± 10.6 vs. 112.6 ± 10.1 control) while increasing nuclear fusion index (37.8 ± 5.7% vs. 30.7 ± 3.2%); myotube area was unchanged. In myoblasts, 24 h PEA increased G
