Ellagic acid attenuates interleukin-1β-induced oxidative stress and exerts protective effects on chondrocytes through the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)/ Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway.
Article in Bioengineered, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent type of degenerative joint disease, and its pathological progression is highly associated with oxidative stress. Natural antioxidants can attenuate oxidative stress and chondrocyte injury, suggesting that antioxidants have potential applications in the management of OA. Ellagic acid (EA), a natural polyphenol derived from fruits or nuts, exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in diseases related to oxidative stress. Herein, we investigated the effects of EA on interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced oxidative stress and degeneration in C28/I2 human chondrocytes. EA efficiently suppressed IL-1β-induced oxidative stress and ameliorated oxidative stress-induced dysfunction of chondrocytes, as indicated by the promotion of cartilage matrix secretion. Moreover, EA remarkably suppressed cell apoptosis and senescence, and reduced the expression of proinflammatory factors and metalloproteinases, suggesting that EA could alleviate chondrocyte injury under oxidative stress. Mechanistically, EA upregulated the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) as well as its downstream targets NADPH quinone oxidoreductase 1 and heme oxygenase-1. ML385, a specific Keap1/Nrf2 pathway inhibitor, blocked the antioxidant and chondroprotective effects of EA. Our findings demonstrated that EA could attenuate oxidative stress and exert protective effects on chondrocytes by upregulating the Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway.
