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

Proanthocyanidins are the most abundant phenolic compounds and have been reported to exert anti-inflammatory actions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) in a mouse model of carrageenan-induced pleurisy. Following the induction of pleurisy using λ-carrageenan (Cg, 1 %), GSPE (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg) was administered per-oral (p.o.), and the glucocorticoid-induced tumour necrosis factor receptor (GITR), IL-17A expressing cells and other markers, such as cytokines (Th1/Th2 and Th17), were studied. We evaluate the effects of GSPE on the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators. The results illustrated that the cell numbers of IL-17A and GITR expressing cells and the cytokine levels in Th1/Th17 cells were markedly increased in the Cg-group, whereas the cytokines produced by Th2 cells were significantly decreased in the same group. Treatment with GSPE reversed these effects. Histological examinations revealed anti-inflammatory effects of GSPE.
