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

Inflammation is an essential innate immune response, yet excessive or persistent inflammation contributes to chronic inflammatory diseases. Our previous studies demonstrated that rainbow trout spleen extracts possess potent anti-inflammatory activity, primarily concentrated in the butanol fraction (OSB), through suppression of NF-κB signaling and macrophage M1 polarization. However, the complex composition of OSB and the requirement for high effective concentrations limited its translational potential. In this study, we try to identify the key bioactive components responsible for OSB's anti-inflammatory effects. The five major constituents enriched in OSB were further fractionated into two subfractions, among which B-TT, containing taurocholic acid (TCA) and tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), exhibited the most pronounced anti-inflammatory activity. Mechanistically, B-TT significantly inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced NF-κB activation in RAW264.7 macrophages by suppressing phosphorylation dependent IκBα degradation, thereby blocking nuclear translocation of the p65 subunit. This inhibition led to reduced iNOS expression, decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine transcription, suppression of M1 macrophage surface markers, and attenuation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that B-TT effectively suppresses LPS-induced macrophage M1 polarization via inhibition of NF-κB signaling and indicate that TCA and TUDCA are major anti-inflammatory constituents present in rainbow trout spleen extracts, highlighting fish-derived visceral byproducts as sustainable bioresources for anti-inflammatory applications.
