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

backgroundGallic acid (GA) has an anti-inflammatory effect by regulating inflammatory molecules. This study aimed to investigate the effect of GA on atopic dermatitis (AD)-like skin inflammation.

methods4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) was used to induce an AD-like skin inflammation model. The effect of GA on DNCB-induced inflammation was assessed by measuring the thickness and histopathological examination of the ear. Serum IgE and TNF-α levels were detected. The effect of GA on lymph nodes was determined by measuring the weights and mRNA/protein expression levels of TNF-α, IL-4, IFN-γ and IL-17. Ratio of Treg cells and Th17 cells was also analyzed.

resultsIt was found that the thickness and pathology of the ear were significantly improved by GA in the DNCB-induced mice. Serum IgE and TNF-α levels were significantly reduced in GA-treated model mice compared to the model group. GA treatment lowered the weight of lymph node and the expression of mRNAs of TNF-α, IL-4, IFN-γ, and IL-17 of lymph node. In the ear, inflammatory factors (IL-4, IL-5, IL-17, or IL-23) showed a significant decrease in GA-treated model mice versus model mice, while the expression levels of IL-10 and TGF-β showed a great increase in GA-treated model mice. ROR-γt showed a decrease in GA-treated model group, along with an increase expression of SOCS3.

conclusionGA could ameliorate AD-like skin inflammation possibly through Th17 mediated immune regulation in a DNCB-induced mouse model.
