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

This study aimed to investigate the bioactive compounds and evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of juice prepared from whole pomelo fruits (WPJ).

methodsTotal flavonoid content, naringin levels, and nutrient composition of WPJ were quantified over the storage period. Flavonoid profiling was conducted using LC-MS. Anti-inflammatory activity was assessed in vitro using LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages, where dose-response effects on nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were measured. An in vivo phenol red-induced mouse model was used to evaluate the effects of WPJ on respiratory secretion and pulmonary inflammation, with analysis of MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathways.

resultsWPJ exhibited a high total flavonoid content (950.68 ± 7.65 mg/100 g), dominated by hesperidin, tribuloside, baicalin, apigenin 7-O-neohesperidoside, hesperetin, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, naringenin, naringin, jaceosidin, and pinocembrin. In vitro, WPJ pretreatment significantly reduced NO, IL-6, and TNF-α production in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner. In vivo, WPJ promoted phenol red secretion in the respiratory tract and attenuated pulmonary inflammatory responses, partly through inhibition of MAPK/NF-κB signaling.

conclusionThe results demonstrate that WPJ is rich in diverse flavonoids and possesses potent anti-inflammatory activity both in vitro and in vivo. Its ability to suppress key inflammatory mediators and modulate respiratory tract responses suggests potential benefits for pulmonary health. These findings support the potential application of WPJ as a functional food for preventing or alleviating cough- and phlegm-related conditions.
