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
This investigation delves into the daucosterol-lecithin complex (DS-LC) and its effects on lipid homeostasis in hyperlipidemic mice. DS-LC was assessed for complexation efficiency, physicochemical properties (UV, XRD, FTIR, SEM, DSC), and its impact on organ health and serum lipid levels. The results revealed that daucosterol formed an effective complex with lecithin at a 2 : 1 ratio, producing a translucent beige DS-LC with distinctive aggregation. UV-vis spectra confirmed that daucosterol's chromophore structure remained intact in DS-LC, indicating no new compound formation. FTIR analysis identified hydrogen bonding and increased molecular association without changing lecithin peaks, highlighting specific intermolecular interactions. SEM and XRD showed that complexation transformed daucosterol into an irregular form within the lecithin matrix, forming a new phase and demonstrating a strong lecithin-daucosterol interaction. Thermal analysis suggested homogeneous daucosterol distribution due to intermolecular interactions. DS-LC treatment effectively alleviated hyperlipidemia, enhancing liver function and reducing lipid accumulation in epididymal fat. It also significantly decreased total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C, and arteriosclerosis index in hyperlipidemic mice, indicating DS-LC's potential as a therapeutic agent for lipid metabolism and related metabolic disorders.
