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

Anthocyanins (Anthos; flower and kyanos; blue) are natural coloring compounds from the flavonoids class that include cyanidin, peonidin, delphinidin, malvidin, pelargonidin, and petunidin. Recently, the role of anthocyanins in disease prevention, especially inflammation, diabetes, cancer, neuro-disorders, hepato-renal protective, and immuno-modulation properties has been highlighted. The current review covered the literature on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacological effects of anthocyanins, especially absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). The discussion on molecular mechanisms underlying their therapeutic effects is the limelight of the article. The GLUT1, GLUT3, SGLT1, SMCT1, and SMCT2 are the main carriers involved in the transportation of anthocyanins in the gastrointestinal tract. The anthocyanins exert their anticancer effects by reducing the expression of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-β, COX-2, downregulation of NF-kB,
