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

objectiveThis study was conducted to evaluate the effect of p-Coumaric acid, a common dietary phenol, on monosodium urate crystal-induced inflammation in rats-an experimental model for acute gouty arthritis.

methodsPaw edema, levels/activities of lysosomal enzymes, lipid peroxidation, enzymic antioxidants and a histopathological examination of ankle joints were evaluated in control and monosodium urate crystal-induced inflamed rats. Further, an acetic acid-induced writhing test and tail immersion test were employed to screen for analgesic effects, yeast-induced pyrexia was used to test for antipyretic effects, and gastric ulceration was used to evaluate ulcerogenic effects.

resultsA significant increase in paw edema, lysosomal enzyme activity and lipid peroxidation levels was observed in monosodium urate crystal-induced rats, whereas activities of enzymic antioxidants were found to be decreased when compared to control rats. Nevertheless, treatment with p-Coumaric acid (100 mg/kg b.wt) significantly reverted the altered physical and biochemical parameters back to near normal levels, as evidenced by the histopathology of the ankle joints. In addition, p-Coumaric acid also exhibited potent analgesic and antipyretic effects devoid of any adverse impact on gastric mucosa.

conclusionThe results of this study reveal the potential anti-inflammatory effect of p-Coumaric acid against monosodium urate crystal-induced inflammation in rats.
