Ellagic Acid Prevents Dopamine Neuron Degeneration from Oxidative Stress and Neuroinflammation in MPTP Model of Parkinson's Disease.
Article in Biomolecules, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 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
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases and is characterized by progressive dopaminergic neurodegeneration in the substantia nigra pars compacta area. In the present study, treatment of EA for 1 week at a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight prior to MPTP (25 mg/kg body weight) was carried out. MPTP administration caused oxidative stress, as evidenced by decreased activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase, and the depletion of reduced glutathione with a concomitant rise in the lipid peroxidation product, malondialdehyde. It also significantly increased the pro-inflammatory cytokines and elevated the inflammatory mediators like cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the striatum. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed a loss of dopamine neurons in the SNc area and a decrease in dopamine transporter in the striatum following MPTP administration. However, treatment with EA prior to MPTP injection significantly rescued the dopaminergic neurons and dopamine transporter. EA treatment further restored antioxidant enzymes, prevented the depletion of glutathione and inhibited lipid peroxidation, in addition to the attenuation of pro-inflammatory cytokines. EA also reduced the levels of COX-2 and iNOS. The findings of the present study demonstrate that EA protects against MPTP-induced PD and the observed neuroprotective effects can be attributed to its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
