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

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor neuron degeneration, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. This study evaluated the neuroprotective potential of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) against MTME + 5-induced neurotoxicity in an ALS-like pathology model. CAPE (50 and 100 mg/kg., p.o.) demonstrated significant therapeutic efficacy by improving motor and cognitive deficits, restoring oxidative balance, and mitigating neuroinflammatory and apoptotic pathways. Behavioral assessments, including the open field, grip strength, forced swim, and Morris water maze, highlighted CAPE's ability to restore neuromuscular coordination and cognitive function in a dose-dependent manner. Cellular and Molecular analyses revealed that MTME
