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

Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a phenylpropyl substance synthesized through the shikimic acid pathway. In addition to its anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant abilities, CGA also has immunomodulatory effects. The aim of the present study is to investigate the therapeutic effects of CGA on the skin damage and arthritis caused by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in an MRL/lpr mouse model. In the SLE model, female MRL/lpr mice at the age of 10 weeks old were treated with CGA daily or cyclophosphamide (CTX) weekly via intraperitoneal injection for three months. After treatment, CGA can significantly alleviate the skin and mucous membrane damage caused by SLE and has a certain improvement effect on arthritis. CGA could inhibit dsDNA expression to a certain extent but has no obvious regulation on ANA concentration. The ELISA and BioMAP results indicated that CGA might play an anti-inflammatory role by down-regulating the interleukin (IL)-17 level. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that CGA can alleviate multiorgan damage in MRL/lpr mice by reducing IL-17.
