Eugenol: A promising therapeutic terpenoid against ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Review in EXCLI journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Ischemic disorders are one of the prime causes of mortality and disability among various individuals across the globe. Although drug treatment/percutaneous coronary interventions may recanalize the obstructed blood vessels, yet reperfusion therapy may aggravate tissue damage and result in ischemia-reperfusion injury. Eugenol, a phenolic monoterpenoid (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol), has been used extensively in various preclinical studies as an antioxidant compound that ameliorates ischemia-reperfusion injury in several organs, including the heart, brain, kidney, and intestine. This protective effect of eugenol is attributed to its ability to influence various several key signaling pathways. These include the AMPK-mTOR-P70S6K (AMP-activated protein kinase-mammalian target of rapamycin-p70 ribosomal S6 kinase) pathway, AMPK/GSK3β (Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta) axis, PI3K/Akt (phoshatidylinositol-3 kinase/ protein kinase B) signaling, which help to mitigate oxidative damage and inflammation. It also modulates the activity of the Nrf2 transcription factor, ACE, and the apoptotic pathway, affects histone acetylation, and alters the expression of HMGN1, PPP2Ca, and CD151 genes, demonstrating its wide-ranging therapeutic effects. In this review, we will discuss the preclinical evidences and potential mechanisms of action of eugenol-dependent protective benefits against ischemia-reperfusion injury.
