Protective role of zingerone against high glucose-Induced retinal pigment epithelial cell damage through modulation of the TRPM2 channel pathway.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundDiabetic retinopathy (DRP) is a leading cause of vision loss associated with chronic hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress (OS), inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. Zingerone (ZGN), a phenolic compound derived from Zingiber officinale, exhibits potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; however, its molecular targets in diabetic retinal damage remain unclear.
methodsThis study investigated the protective effects of ZGN against high glucose (HG)-induced cytotoxicity in human ARPE-19 cells, focusing on the ROS/PARP-1/TRPM2 signaling pathway. The cells were exposed to HG (30 mM) and treated with ZGN (0-80 µM) for 24 h.
resultsHG incubation significantly increased MDA, PARP-1, ROS, intracellular calcium ion ([Ca²⁺]
conclusionsThese findings suggest that ZGN protects ARPE-19 cells by integrating OS with [Ca²⁺]
