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

Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) causes significant discomfort in patients and impairs the quality of urination. Pterostilbene (PTE), a natural polyphenol antioxidant, has demonstrated beneficial effects in mitigating inflammation, enhancing antioxidant capacity, and ameliorating organ dysfunction in various chronic nonspecific inflammatory conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of PTE in IC/BPS and elucidate its underlying mechanisms using a rat model of cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced interstitial cystitis. In comparison, chronic pain progression, histopathological features, and cytokine levels demonstrated that PTE mitigated the severity of symptoms in CYP-induced rats by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome in a dose-dependent manner. Further mechanistic investigations indicated that PTE intervention alleviated oxidative stress in CYP-induced IC in rats via activation of the
