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

Chicoric acid (CA), a polyphenolic acid compound extracted from chicory and echinacea, possesses antiviral, antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities. Growing evidence supports the pivotal roles of brain-spleen and brain-gut axes in neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD), and the immune response of the spleen and colon is always the active participant in the pathogenesis and development of PD. In this study, we observe that CA prevented dopaminergic neuronal lesions, motor deficits and glial activation in PD mice, along with the increment in striatal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), dopamine (DA) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HT). Furthermore, CA reversed the level of interleukin-17(IL-17), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) of PD mice, implicating its regulatory effect on the immunological response of spleen and colon. Transcriptome analysis revealed that 22 genes in the spleen (21 upregulated and 1 downregulated) and 306 genes (190 upregulated and 116 downregulated) in the colon were significantly differentially expressed in CA-pretreated mice. These genes were functionally annotated with GSEA, GO and KEGG pathway enrichment, providing the potential target genes and molecular biological mechanisms for the modulation of CA on the spleen and gut in PD. Remarkably, CA restored some gene expressions to normal level. Our results highlighted that the neuroprotection of CA might be associated with the manipulation of CA on brain-spleen and brain-gut axes in PD.
