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
Background: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a non-invasive therapeutic modality with growing potential in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. However, its mechanistic role in regulating mitochondrial homeostasis in astrocytes under inflammatory stress remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of LIPUS on mitochondrial dynamics, morphology, oxidative stress, mitochondrial membrane potential, and mitochondrial stress response in an Methods: Normal Human Astrocytes (NHA) were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 0.5 µg/mL, 24 h) and subsequently treated with LIPUS (1 MHz, 50% duty cycle, 100 Hz, 15 min) at intensities of 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm Results: LIPUS treatment, particularly at 300 mW/cm Conclusion: LIPUS ameliorates mitochondrial dysfunction in inflamed astrocytes by restoring mitochondrial dynamics and reducing stress signaling, supporting its potential as a therapeutic strategy for neuroinflammation-associated neurodegenerative disorders.
