Cichorium intybus attenuates Streptozotocin-induced pancreatic β-cell damage by inhibiting NF-κB activation and oxidative stress.

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
The aqueous extract of Cichorium intybus (CIE) leaves have shown the properties of protecting against pancreatic β-cell damage by streptozotocin (STZ), but the molecular mechanisms of its protection are not completely elucidated yet. Our current study focuses on elucidating the mechanisms of these preventive effects of CIE in MIN6 cells and an in-vivo model of Wistar rats. CIE offers protection against STZ in MIN6 cells by reducing the pro-oxidants and increasing the activity of the antioxidant enzymes. In vitro results also indicated that CIE inhibited cytotoxicity, reduced Reactive oxygen species (ROS), maintained glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and reduced NF-κB p65 translocation into the nucleus. The group administered with a 250 mg/kg dose of CIE in vivo has shown an ability to maintain blood glucose level and also to preserve the number and morphology of pancreatic islets when compared to the diabetic group treated with STZ. Probably, active compounds like quercetin, rutin, and catechin present in CIE, preserve the integrity of pancreatic islets thereby protecting β-cells from the adverse effects of STZ.
