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

Inflammatory and oxidative processes are tightly regulated by innate and adaptive immune systems, which are involved in the pathology of a diversity of chronic diseases. Soybean peptides, such as lunasin, have emerged as one of the most hopeful food-derived peptides with a positive impact on health. The aim was to study the potential antioxidant and immunomodulatory activity of a lunasin-enriched soybean extract (LES). The protein profile of LES was characterized, and its behavior under simulated gastrointestinal digestion was evaluated. Besides its in vitro radical scavenging capacity, LES and lunasin's effects on cell viability, phagocytic capacity, oxidative stress, and inflammation-associated biomarkers were investigated in both RAW264.7 macrophages and lymphocytes EL4. Lunasin and other soluble peptides enriched after aqueous solvent extraction partially resisted the action of digestive enzymes, being potentially responsible for the beneficial effects of LES. This extract scavenged radicals, reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and exerted immunostimulatory effects, increasing nitric oxide (NO) production, phagocytic activity, and cytokine release in macrophages. Lunasin and LES also exerted dose-dependent immunomodulatory effects on EL4 cell proliferation and cytokine production. The modulatory effects of soybean peptides on both immune cell models suggest their potential protective role against oxidative stress, inflammation, and immune response-associated disorders.
