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

Lead is a common environmental pollutant. It can affect several body systems including the central nervous system (CNS). Lead can disrupt the nervous system by different mechanisms including oxidative stress, inflammation, disruption of neurotransmission, and aberrant autophagy. Apiaceous species have been used traditionally as food flavoring and medicine, representing a rich source of bioactive compounds. In the current study, the antioxidant power of four Apiaceous extracts (Foeniculum vulgare L., Pimpinella anisum L., Coriandrum sativum L., and Cuminum cyminum L.) was evaluated. Additionally, the metabolite profiles of the selected species were comprehensively investigated by untargeted liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS) coupled to chemometry. Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) extract showed the highest radical scavenging activity and reducing power. Coriander was further subjected to in vivo evaluation of its protective effect against Lead (Pb)-induced neurotoxicity. Administration of coriander extracts improved the short- and long-term memory performance and decreased hippocampal Pb content in Pb-intoxicated rats. Moreover, it attenuated hippocampal oxidative stress, neurochemical changes, and exhibited anti-inflammatory effect in the hippocampal tissue. Further, coriander extracts attenuated Pb inhibitory effect on the mammalian target of Rapamycin (mTORC1) pathway resulting in upregulation of Phospho-p70 S6 Kinase (P-P70S6K) and Phospho-S6 Ribosomal Protein (PS6) and downregulation of Beclin-1. Additionally, some selected coriander ingredients were subjected to molecular docking to examine their regulatory effect on mTORC-1 and IκB kinase complex (Ikk-β). The present findings highlight the future pharmaceutical utilization of coriander extract as valuable source of phenolic compounds that can be used as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective agents against Pb-induced neurotoxicity.
