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

Recent studies indicated that regulatory B cells (Bregs) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) antioxidant signaling pathway play important roles in the pathogenesis of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). Mangiferin (MA), a polyphenol compound, has been reported to activate Nrf2/antioxidant-responsive element (ARE) signaling pathway. This study was aimed to investigate the effects of MA on Bregs and Nrf2 antioxidant signaling in murine splenic mononuclear cells (MNCs) in vitro. Our results revealed that MA could increase the Bregs level in murine splenic MNCs. Moreover, MA up-regulated the expression of Bregs-associated immunosuppressive factor interleukin-10 (IL-10) by activating the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling in murine splenic MNCs. Meanwhile, MA inhibited the proinflammatory cytokines IL-2 and interferon-γ (INF-γ) at both mRNA and protein levels. MA also enhanced the transcription and protein expression of Nrf2 and NADPH quinine oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), whereas decreased that of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) in murine splenic MNCs. Moreover, MA promoted the proliferation and inhibited the apoptosis of murine splenic MNCs. These results suggested that MA exerts immunosuppressive effects by upregulating the Bregs level, activating the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway, and inhibiting the expression of pro-immunoinflammatory factors. MA, as a natural immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory agent, may have a potential role in the prophylaxis and treatment of cGVHD.
