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
Objectives: Parthenolide (PTL) has significant anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, but its regulatory mechanisms in endometriosis (EMs) remain unclear. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the effects of PTL on cellular models and a murine EMs model, with a focus on its regulatory roles in autophagy and the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. Materials and Methods: Human monocytic leukemia THP-1 cells, murine immortalized bone marrow-derived macrophages, and 30 female C57BL/6 mice were used. Autophagy-related proteins (Beclin1, LC3, p62) and inflammasome components (NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1) were detected by Western blotting, and the activation of the AMPK/ULK1 signaling pathway was assessed after treating with PTL at a concentration of 10 mg/ml for 1 hr. A murine EMs model was established by peritoneal implantation, followed by intraperitoneal injections of PTL (10 mg/ml). Immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1, IL-1β, and GSDMD in ectopic lesions. Results: Conclusion: PTL exerts its therapeutic effect on EMs by simultaneously activating autophagy through the AMPK/ULK1 signaling pathway and inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome and its downstream effectors.
