Juniperonic Acid Incorporation into the Phospholipids of Murine Macrophage Cells Modulates Pro-Inflammatory Mediator Production.
Article in Inflammation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Juniperonic acid (JPA; Δ5,11,14,17-20:4), originally identified in certain gymnosperm seeds, is a rare n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) with lipid-modulating effects on rats and anti-proliferative effects on fibroblast cell proliferation. However, little is known how JPA exerted its immunosuppressive effect. The objective of this study was to investigate whether JPA inhibited the production of inflammatory mediators through the modulation of cellular phospholipid fatty acid compositions. Using standard lipid chemistry techniques in conjunction with argentated column chromatography, high-purity JPA (> 98%) was extracted, isolated, and purified from Biota kernels. When murine RAW264.7 macrophages were incubated with increasing concentrations of JPA, amounts of cellular phospholipid total PUFA, JPA, and Δ7-docosatetraenoic acid (Δ7-DTA; elongation product of JPA) increased in a dose-dependent manner; however, the proportions of total monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and arachidonic acid (AA) decreased. JPA suppressed the production of nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) up to 21, 75, 30, and 44%, respectively. The induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) over-expression by JPA could account for the doubling of the PGE
