In vitro effects of curcumin on proinflammatory cytokines and expression of their genes in minor salivary gland tissue of patients with Sjogren's syndrome.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
Curcumin reduces disease severity and ameliorates lupus-like/Sjögren's Syndrome-like disease in mice model. The immunological basis of these effects is largely unknown. This study examined the effects of curcumin on pro-inflammatory cytokines secreted by minor salivary glands in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). Minor salivary gland (MSG) tissue samples were collected from patients undergoing biopsy for suspected pSS. The tissues were treated with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) alone as well as PHA with curcumin (30 μM) and cultured in RPMI 1640 medium for 48 h at 37 °C in CO
