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

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid compound that has several beneficial qualities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and antidiabetic effects. This study examined the effects of astaxanthin supplementation on inflammation-related microRNAs, lysophosphatidylcholine, and α-hydroxybutyrate in individuals with Type 2 diabetes. Fifty people with Type 2 diabetes volunteered in a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind clinical trial. Subjects were randomly determined to consume either 10 mg of astaxanthin (
