Melatonin Suppresses LPS-Induced Oxidative Stress in Dendritic Cells for Inflammatory Regulation via the Nrf2/HO-1 Axis.
Article in Antioxidants (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Melatonin, an indoleamine synthesized in the pineal gland of mammals, is a natural bioactive compound with powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Here, we evaluated whether melatonin has the capacity to moderate the oxidative stress of dendritic cells (DCs) for inflammatory control in an acute lung injury (ALI) model. Our findings showed that melatonin remarkably inhibited total nitric oxide synthase (T-NOS) activity, nitric oxide (NO) production, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and lipid peroxidation (MDA detection) levels in both an LPS-induced murine ALI model and LPS-induced DCs. Meanwhile, the reduced glutathione (GSH) level and the GSH/GSSG ratio were recovered. In addition, antioxidant enzymes, such as glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD), were increased in these processes. Moreover, melatonin also inhibited the LPS-induced secretions of IL-1β, IL-6, and TGF-β in vivo and in vitro. Finally, we found that the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) axis was required in the inhibition of LPS-induced oxidative stress in DCs by melatonin. Altogether, these data indicate that melatonin strongly suppresses the LPS-induced oxidative stress in DCs, which is a promising DC-targeted strategy via inflammatory control for ALI treatment.
