Chicoric acid prevents methotrexate-induced kidney injury by suppressing NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome activation and up-regulating Nrf2/ARE/HO-1 signaling.
Article in Inflammation research : official journal of the European Histamine Research Society ... [et al.], 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 49 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
objectiveChicoric acid (CA) is a natural product with promising antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; however, its protective effect on methotrexate (MTX)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) hasn't been reported. We investigated the effect of CA on MTX-induced AKI in rats, pointing to the role of NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome and Nrf2/ARE/HO-1 signaling. MATERIALS AND
methodsWistar rats received 25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg CA for 15 days and a single injection of MTX at day 16. At day 19, the rats were killed, and samples were collected for analyses.
resultsMTX induced a significant increase in serum creatinine and urea, and kidney Kim-1, reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde and nitric oxide levels. In addition, MTX-induced rats exhibited multiple histopathological alterations, diminished antioxidant defenses, and decreased expression of Nrf2, NQO-1 and HO-1. CA prevented histological alterations, ameliorated kidney function markers, attenuated ROS production and lipid peroxidation, and boosted antioxidant defenses. CA suppressed the expression of NF-κB p65, NLRP3, caspase-1 and IL-1β in the kidney of MTX-induced rats. Furthermore, CA inhibited MTX-induced apoptosis as evidenced by the decreased expression of BAX and caspase-3, and increased Bcl-2 gene expression.
conclusionsCA prevented MTX-induced AKI through activation of Nrf2/ARE/HO-1 signaling, and attenuation of ROS-induced activation of NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling.
