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

Curcumin, extracted from the roots of Curcuma longa, has been used as an anti-inflammatory agent since the time of Ayurveda. The present work was designed to evaluate the potential of curcumin in amelioration of ovalbumin (OVA) induced AD in mice. Female BALB/c mice were subjected to skin OVA-patch application for a period of 1 week followed by resting period of 2 weeks, and the same protocol was repeated thrice. Curcumin was administered daily at dose of 20 mg/kg (i.p.) for 7 consecutive days during last sensitization phase. The phytochemical ameliorated the OVA-induced skin pathology as evident by normalization of epidermal thickness and suppressed infiltration of inflammatory cells in dermal region. The expression of Th2 promoting cytokines (TSLP/IL-33) and Th2 cytokines (IL-4/IL-5/IL-13/IL-31) was suppressed markedly along with reduced STAT-6 phosphorylation and GATA-3 expression. Curcumin administration also restored the redox balance and phosphorylation status of P65-NF-κB. Additionally, the epicutaneously sensitized mice challenged with aerosolized OVA developed asthmatic features which were effectively thwarted back upon curcumin treatment as reflected by data on total/differential cells in BALF and mRNA expression of Th2 cytokines in lungs. Overall, our findings demonstrate that curcumin treatment blunts the development of AD as well as associated atopic march in experimental mice.
