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

Background: Lignans from Objective: This meta-analysis evaluates the effects of Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Ovid from inception to April 2025 for relevant animal RCTs, selected via the PICOS framework. Study quality was assessed using the SYRCLE tool. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed on outcomes including muscle weight, fiber cross-sectional area (CSA), catalase (CAT) activity, and grip strength. Results: Eleven studies (149 experimental, 149 control animals) were included. Conclusion: Systematic Review Registration: identifier INPLASY202590030.
