Quercetin suppresses NLRP3 inflammasome activation and attenuates histopathology in a rat model of spinal cord injury.
Article in Spinal cord, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 62 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
STUDY
designRandomized experimental study.
objectivesTo investigate the molecular mechanisms of quercetin in spinal cord injury (SCI) rats.
settingChina.
methodsOne hundred female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into four groups: sham group, SCI group, SCI+Vehicle (Veh) group, and the SCI+Quercetin (Que) group. The influences of quercetin on proinflammatory cytokine levels, histological changes and locomotion scale were estimated.
resultsSCI significantly promoted nucleotide-binding domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation and increased proinflammatory cytokine productions in the SCI group as compared with the sham group. Quercetin administration significantly decreased reactive oxygen species production, inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation and reduced inflammatory cytokine levels. Moreover, quercetin administration attenuated histopathology and promoted locomotion recovery.
conclusionQuercetin can attenuate tissue damage and improve neurological function recovery, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome activation.
