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: Agarikon ( Methods: To provide a stronger mechanistic basis for the observed preclinical and clinical effects supported by agarikon mycelium, this preclinical study investigated the transcriptomic effects of agarikon mycelium in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) under both basal and LPS-stimulated conditions ( Results: Under basal conditions, agarikon mycelium selectively engaged the innate immune response through IL-1 and NF-κB axes, balanced by increases in anti-inflammatory mediators such as IL-1RA and decreases in toll-like receptor transcripts. Under LPS-stimulated conditions, this innate immune response was modified, with measured increases in immune effectors (including Conclusion: Overall, agarikon mycelium demonstrated a coordinated, context-dependent immune response profile, supporting its stress-buffering and immune-modulating potential and warranting continued clinical validation.
