Article in Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to compare the effects of β-sitosterol nanoparticles (BETNs) and β-sitosterol (BET) on cognitive impairment, oxidative stress, and inflammation in a myocardial infarction (MI) rat model using in silico and in vivo methods.
methodsβ-Sitosterol (BET) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) ligand-receptor binding affinities were evaluated using Autodock Vina for docking and Gromacs for dynamics simulations. BET nanoparticles, prepared via solvent evaporation, had their size confirmed by a nanoparticle analyzer. ISO-induced cognitive impairment in rats was assessed through Morris water maze and Cook's pole climbing tests. Oxidative stress, inflammation, and cardiac injury were evaluated by measuring GSH, SOD, MDA, MPO, CkMB, LDH, lipid profiles, and ECGs. Histopathology of the CA1 hippocampus and myocardial tissue was performed using H&E staining.
resultsIn silico analyses revealed strong binding affinities between BET and MPO, suggesting BET's potential anti-inflammatory effect. BETN (119.6 ± 42.6 nm; PDI: 0.809) significantly improved MI-induced cognitive dysfunction in rats (
conclusionsCompared with BET treatment, BETNs were more effective in improving cognitive impairment, oxidative damage, and inflammation in MI rats, suggesting its potential in treating cognitive dysfunction and associated pathological changes in MI.
