Piceatannol induces regulatory T cells and modulates the inflammatory response and adipogenesis.
Article in Biomedicine & pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & pharmacotherapie, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The beneficial effects of the polyphenolic compound piceatannol (PC) has been reported for metabolic diseases, antiproliferative, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties. Despite its beneficial effects on inflammatory diseases, little is known about how PC regulates inflammatory responses and adipogenesis. Therefore, this study was designed to determine the effects of PC on the inflammatory response and adipogenesis. The effect of PC on splenocytes, 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and RAW264.7 macrophages was analyzed by flow cytometry, qRT-PCR, morphometry, and western blot analysis. PC induced apoptosis in activated T cells in a dose-dependent manner using stimulated splenocytes and reduced the activation of T cells, altered T cell frequency, and interestingly induced the frequency of regulatory T (Treg) cells as compared to controls. PC suppressed the expression of TNF-α, iNOS, IL-6R, and NF-κB activation in RAW264.7 macrophages after lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induction as compared to the control. Interestingly, PC altered the cell morphology of 3T3-L1 adipocytes with a concomitant decrease in cell volume, lipid deposition, and TNF-α expression, but upregulation of leptin and IL-1β. Our findings suggested that PC induced apoptosis in activated T cells, decreased immune cell activation and inflammatory response, and hindered adipogenesis. This new set of data provides promising hope as a new therapeutic to treat both inflammatory disease and obesity.
