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

Transforming growth factor β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1), a vital upstream integrator of multiple pro-inflammatory signaling pathways, mediates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules. Investigations targeting TAK1 provide new therapeutic options for chronic inflammatory disorders, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. However, the role and mechanism of the TAK1 inhibitor 5Z-7-oxozeaenol in treating autoimmune demyelinating diseases remain unclear. This work aimed to identify whether 5Z-7-oxozeaenol exerts neuroprotective effects on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice. Here, we demonstrate that 5Z-7-oxozeaenol efficiently alleviates the symptoms of EAE by decreasing the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in splenocytes and central nervous system, diminishing the number of activated microglia and inhibiting the p38MAPK, JNK, and ERK signaling pathways. Furthermore, we demonstrate that administration during the symptomatic time window is required for 5Z-7-oxozeaenol efficacy. These results suggest that TAK1 inhibition may provide a potent approach toward treating autoimmune demyelinating diseases.
