Taxifolin Suppresses Inflammatory Responses of High-Glucose-Stimulated Mouse Microglia by Attenuating the TXNIP-NLRP3 Axis.
Article in Nutrients, 2023. 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
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of dementia, potentially through multifactorial pathologies, including neuroinflammation. Therefore, there is a need to identify novel agents that can suppress neuroinflammation and prevent cognitive impairment in diabetes. In the present study, we demonstrated that a high-glucose (HG) environment elevates the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and triggers inflammatory responses in the mouse microglial cell line BV-2. We further found that thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), a ROS-responsive positive regulator of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, was also upregulated, followed by NLRP3 inflammasome activation and subsequent interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) production in these cells. Conversely, caspase-1 was not significantly activated, suggesting the involvement of noncanonical pathways in these inflammatory responses. Moreover, our results demonstrated that taxifolin, a natural flavonoid with antioxidant and radical scavenging activities, suppressed IL-1β production by reducing the intracellular ROS levels and inhibiting the activation of the TXNIP-NLRP3 axis. These findings suggest the novel anti-inflammatory effects of taxifolin on microglia in an HG environment, which could help develop novel strategies for suppressing neuroinflammation in diabetes.
