Angelicae Gigantis Radix Regulates LPS-Induced Neuroinflammation in BV2 Microglia by Inhibiting NF-κB and MAPK Activity and Inducing Nrf-2 Activity.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Angelicae Gigantis Radix (AGR) has been widely used as a traditional medicine in East Asia. The effects of AGR on neuroinflammation have not previously been studied in detail. In the study presented here, we investigated the antineuroinflammatory properties of this herb and its mechanism of operation. The effects of AGR on neuroinflammation were studied by measuring the production of inflammatory factors and related enzymes, and analyzing the expression levels of proteins and genes involved its activity, in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV2 microglia. We found that AGR pretreatment strongly inhibits the production of nitric oxide (NO), cytokines, and the enzymes inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, and effectively induces the activation of heme oxygenase (HO)-1 and its regulator, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2). We also found that AGR effectively regulates the activation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). We confirmed the antineuroinflammatory effects of the main constituents of the plant as identified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Our results indicate that the neuroinflammation inhibitory activity of AGR occurs through inhibition of NF-κB and MAPK and activation of Nrf-2.
