Betanin Mitigates Inflammation and Ankle Joint Damage by Inhibiting the MAPK/NF-κB Pathway in Arthritis Triggered by Type II Collagen in Rats.
Article in Combinatorial chemistry & high throughput screening, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundRheumatoid Arthritis (RA), a chronic inflammatory autoimmune illness, is characterized by synovitis, progressive joint damage, and bone erosion. Even though the potent drugs available contain biologics, several patients fail to react to them or cause hostile effects.
objectivesBetanin (BTN), the betacyanin present in the red beetroot, has antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and apoptotic properties. In this study, we assessed the anti-inflammatory and apoptotic effect of BTN on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). MATERIALS AND
methodsThe rats were arbitrarily separated into four sets: Normal, CIA, CIA+BTN (25 mg/kg bw), and CIA+BTN (50 mg/kg bw). The hematological, biochemical markers, cytokines, inflammatory enzymes, histopathology of the ankle joint, and protein expression of inflammatory and apoptotic proteins were studied.
resultsInflammatory enzymes, histopathological variations, cytokines generation, and joint inflammation were strongly alleviated, and apoptosis was augmented by BTN in a concentrationdependent manner. Bcl-2 and MAPK/NF-κB proteins were reduced, while the caspase-3, caspase- 9, and Bax were intensified. The anti-rheumatic action of BTN was correlated to the attenuation of the MAPK/NF-κB pathway, which suppresses cytokine production, inflammation, and reduced cartilage impairments.
conclusionThese outcomes recommend that BTN can be employed as a strong healing alternative for RA management.
