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

Skeletal muscle satellite cells ( SCs), essential for muscle regeneration, are a valuable model for studying exercise-induced stress relevant to human athletes. This study examined the effects of two natural compounds-chlorogenic acid (CGA) and isovanillic acid 3-O-sulfate (IVAS)-increasingly recognized as components of modern, nature-based recovery strategies. Their combination (Hybrid) was also tested on equine model of skeletal muscle satellite cells (ESCs) exposed to heat shock (40 °C, 1 h), mimicking exercise stress. Cells were treated with CGA (0.005%), IVAS (0.0005%), or both for 24 h post-stress. Cell viability (MTS), mitochondrial membrane potential, apoptosis (Annexin V/7-AAD), nitric oxide (NO) production, and gene expression (RT-qPCR) were assessed. CGA significantly improved viability under both normothermia and heat stress (216-227%, p < 0.05), while IVAS was effective only without stress. Only the Hybrid group maintained elongated morphology post-heat shock. CGA increased NO levels (p < 0.05), with no effect from IVAS or Hybrid. Antioxidant gene expression remained unchanged, but proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1β were upregulated in the Hybrid group (2.74- and 5.64-fold, p < 0.01), suggesting a controlled, adaptive immune response. Early apoptosis rose in CGA and Hybrid groups (~ 34%, p < 0.05), but total cell death was lowest in the Hybrid group (6.26%). BCL2 was downregulated (p < 0.05), while BAX increased only in the Hybrid group (8.14-fold, p < 0.01). Mitochondrial genes MFN2, TFAM, and PUSL1 were significantly upregulated in the Hybrid group; MIRO1 expression increased in all treated groups. CGA and IVAS synergistically promote mitochondrial stability and ESC survival via mitochondrial activation and inflammation regulation-supporting the growing trend of using natural compounds in muscle recovery strategies.
