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

Sebacic acid (SA), a ten-carbon medium-chain dicarboxylic acid, has emerged as a multifunctional bioactive metabolite with potential applications in metabolic regulation and regenerative medicine. Evidence indicates that SA exerts anti-inflammatory effects by modulating nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathways, improves glucose homeostasis by enhancing mitochondrial function and suppressing hepatic gluconeogenesis, and contributes to lipid metabolism via peroxisomal and mitochondrial β-oxidation. Beyond metabolic regulation, SA promotes bone repair by stimulating osteoblast differentiation and inhibiting osteoclast activity, and supports muscle regeneration by enhancing energy supply, cell proliferation, and the microenvironment. SA also serves as a monomer for poly (glycerol sebacate) (PGS), enabling its use in biodegradable tissue engineering scaffolds. This review synthesizes current experimental and preclinical findings on the biological functions of SA, elucidates the underlying molecular mechanisms, and highlights its translational potential for the treatment of metabolic disorders and tissue regeneration.
