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

Distinct molecular pathways of cell death drive the progression of neurological pathologies. Targeting the signaling cascades induced by oxidative stress and inflammation within these pathways is central to developing cytoprotective therapies against apoptosis, ferroptosis, and excitotoxicity. In recent years, the flavonoid icariin has emerged as a promising candidate, showing significant potential to intercept these specific cell death mechanisms. However, while the current literature highlights icariin's general neuroprotective effects, evidence regarding its precise interaction with distinct cell death modalities remains fragmented. This review synthesizes current knowledge to clarify the molecular logic by which icariin modulates these specific pathways in neurological models.
