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

Neuroinflammation is one of the main mechanisms involved in the progression of neurodegeneration. The activation of microglia is the main feature of neuroinflammation, promoting the release of neurotoxic molecules and pro-inflammatory cytokines and resulting in the progressive neuronal cell death. Thus, suppression of the over-activation of microglia using novel pharmacological agents is an attractive issue to alleviate the neuroinflammatory processes associated with neurodegeneration. In recent years, medicinal plants-derived natural compounds have received extensive attention as useful sources of new neuroprotective agents for treating neurological disorders. In this review, we summarized the detailed research progress on the natural compounds derived from medicinal plants with potential anti-inflammatory effects and their molecular mechanisms on modulating the LPS-induced inflammatory responses in microglia. The natural compounds that efficacious in inhibiting the microglia activation include flavonoids, glycosides, phenolics, terpenoids, quinones, alkaloids, lignans, coumarins, chalcone, stilbene and others (biphenyl, phenylpropanoid, oxy carotenoid). They can reduce the expression of neurotoxic mediators (NO, PGE2, iNOS, COX-2) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β), down-regulate inflammatory markers and prevent neural damage. They exert anti-neuroinflammatory effects by modulating relevant signaling pathways (NF-κB, MAPKs, Nrf2/HO-1, PI3K/Akt, JAK/STAT) as demonstrated by experimental data. The present work reviews the role of microglia activation in neuroinflammation, highlighting the potential anti-inflammatory effects of natural compounds as a promising approach to develop innovative neuroprotective strategy.
