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

Objective: Ferulic acid (FA) has shown potential in treating atherosclerosis (AS) by improving lipid metabolism and exerting anti-hypoxic effects. This study aimed to validate the mechanism of FA in AS through Methods: Network analysis was employed to predict the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of FA on AS. An Results: Network analysis suggested that FA may exert its therapeutic effects on AS through the HIF-1 signaling pathway and is closely associated with the regulation of ferroptosis and apoptosis. FA upregulated the expression of ALOX5, BCL2, ERN1, GPX4, NOS3, and SLC2A1 mRNA and downregulated the expression of BAX, CYCS, EGFR, FLT1, HIF1A, NFKB1, NOS2, PARP1, and STAT3 mRNA. Conclusion: FA improves mitochondrial function and suppresses ferroptosis and apoptosis by inhibiting the HIF-1 signaling pathway, thereby treating AS.
