Effect of pravastatin treatment on circulating adiponectin: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Synthesis in Drug design, development and therapy, 2019. The graph read 1 number from its abstract, feeding 1 cell of the map: it supports the treatment in 1. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Pravastatin treatment was associated with a significant increased level of circulating adiponectin as compared with controls (weighted mean difference [WMD] =0.63 µg/mL; 95% CI, 0.17-1.09 µg/mL; CONCLUSION: Pravastatin treatment is associated with increased circulating adiponectin.

What it adds to each cell
For every cell the paper feeds: the belief in the claim with and without this paper, and this paper's estimate drawn against every other readable study in the cell. The ringed dot is this paper.

This paper's own estimate is on a different scale from the rest of the cell, so it is not drawn here.
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
The marked sentences are the ones the graph read a number from.
objectivePravastatin has been suggested to increase circulating adiponectin in humans. However, results of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are inconsistent. We aimed to systematically evaluate the influence of pravastatin on circulating adiponectin in humans by performing a meta-analysis of RCTs. MATERIALS AND
methodsStudies were identified via systematic searching of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane's Library databases. A random effect model was used to pool the results. Meta-regression and subgroup analyses were applied to explore the source of heterogeneity.
resultsEight RCTs with nine comparisons of 595 participants were included. Pravastatin treatment was associated with a significant increased level of circulating adiponectin as compared with controls (weighted mean difference [WMD] =0.63 µg/mL; 95% CI, 0.17-1.09 µg/mL;
conclusionPravastatin treatment is associated with increased circulating adiponectin. Gender difference may exist regarding the effect of pravastatin treatment on adiponectin.
