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

D-limonene (D-Lim) is a monocyclic monoterpene and the principal component of citrus essential oils; however, the potential mechanisms underlying its neuroprotective effects in traumatic brain injury (TBI) remain incompletely elucidated. By integrating network pharmacology, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), molecular docking, and experimental validation, this study systematically investigated the potential mechanisms through which D-Lim exerts neuroprotective activity. Database analyses and in vivo experiments showed that the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects produced by D-Lim may be related to the p38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling axis and activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Molecular docking and RT-PCR experiments indicated interactions between D-Lim and potential target proteins, including
