Itaconate attenuates autoimmune hepatitis via PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway-mediated inhibition of dendritic cell maturation and autophagy.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) results from an autoimmune-mediated chronic inflammatory response against liver cells. Defective self-tolerance and dysfunctional dendritic cells (DCs) play a regulatory role in AIH. Itaconate has recently attracted attention in the field of immunometabolism because of its crucial role as an anti-inflammatory metabolite that negatively regulates the inflammatory response. However, the underlying mechanism of itaconate mediation of DCs in AIH remains unclear. In this study, we found that itaconate acts as an anti-inflammatory factor in the liver. Endogenous itaconate levels were significantly increased in mice with S100-induced AIH model and correlated with upregulation of the immune-responsive gene 1 expression. However, the anti-inflammatory response from endogenously itaconate may not represent the effects exogenously-produced itaconate. We investigated the anti-inflammatory response from exogenous itaconate in S100-induced AIH, and our results showed that itaconate treatment attenuated liver histopathological damage, hepatocyte apoptosis, aminotransferase elevation, and IL-6 production in the S100-induced AIH model. In addition, Itaconate decreased glycolysis to suppress the maturation of DCs in the liver and spleen of AIH models, thereby directly regulating differentiation of Th17 and Tregs
