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

Recently, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has been actively employed for patients experiencing symptoms unresponsive to Western medical treatments like drug therapy. The natural compounds carotenoids and astaxanthin (AST) have demonstrated various beneficial biological actions for human health in several studies. Given their broad pharmacological activities and reduced toxicity, ASTs possess significant potential as resources for the development of natural analgesic drugs. Given recent studies showing that AST can modulate neuronal excitability, including nociceptive sensory transmission through voltage-gated Ca
