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

Cadmium (Cd) is a typical heavy metal pollutant in aquatic environments. It enters fish through the gills, digestive tract, and body surface, and accumulates mainly in the liver and kidneys, with species- and tissue-specific distribution. Cadmium triggers apoptosis by inducing oxidative stress, calcium imbalance, and DNA damage. These signals are integrated and amplified by the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT, and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathways, ultimately activating three downstream apoptotic execution pathways: the death receptor, mitochondrial, and endoplasmic reticulum stress pathways. These three pathways form an interactive network through molecular nodes such as BH3 interacting domain death agonist (Bid), Ca
