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

introductionPrevious studies revealed that gallic acid (GA) exerts anti-inflammation and immuno-regulatory properties. This study aims to explore the pharmacological activities of GA in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse model.

methodsMale DBA/1J mice were used to construct the CIA model. The mice were administrated with GA for 3 weeks. Clinical arthritis scores and hind paw volume were evaluated over the experimental period. qPCR and Western blot analysis were used to determine the levels of matrix metallopeptidases (MMPs) and cytokines. In addition, flow cytometry was used to measure the populations of Th17 and Treg cells. ELISAs were used to determine the cytokines in the serum and ankle joint tissues.

resultsTreatment of GA (40 and 80 mg/kg/d) reduced clinical arthritis scores and hind paw volume in the CIA mouse model. Besides, treatment of GA reduced the overexpression of MMPs and modulated the dysregulation of inflammation-related cytokines. Flow cytometry showed that treatment of GA decreased the population of Th17 cells, and increased the population of Treg cells, as supported by treatment of GA regulated the Th17/Treg-related cytokines.

conclusionsGA attenuates symptoms in the CIA mouse model by anti-inflammation and regulating Th17/Treg cell imbalance.
