Systemic and Ocular Anti-Inflammatory Mechanisms of Green Tea Extract on Endotoxin-Induced Ocular Inflammation.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Introduction: Green tea extract (GTE) alleviated ocular inflammations in endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) rat model induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) but the underlying mechanism is unclear. Objectives: To investigate the systematic and local mechanisms of the alleviation by untargeted metabolomics using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control group, LPS treatment group, and LPS treatment group treated with GTE two hours after LPS injection. The eyes were monitored by slip lamp and electroretinography examination after 24 hours. The plasma and retina were collected for metabolomics analysis. Results: In LPS treated rats, the iris showed hyperemia. Plasma prostaglandins, arachidonic acids, corticosteroid metabolites, and bile acid metabolites increased. In the retina, histamine antagonists, corticosteroids, membrane phospholipids, free antioxidants, and sugars also increased but fatty acid metabolites, N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulphate, pyrocatechol, and adipic acid decreased. After GTE treatment, the a- and b- waves of electroretinography increased by 13%. Plasma phosphorylcholine lipids increased but plasma prostaglandin E1, cholanic metabolites, and glutarylglycine decreased. In the retina, tetranor-PGAM, pantothenic derivatives, 2-ethylacylcarinitine, and kynuramine levels decreased but anti-oxidative seleno-peptide level increased. Only phospholipids, fatty acids, and arachidonic acid metabolites in plasma and in the retina had significant correlation (p < 0.05, r > 0.4 or r < -0.4). Conclusions: The results showed GTE indirectly induced systemic phosphorylcholine lipids to suppress inflammatory responses, hepatic damage, and respiratory mitochondrial stress in EIU rats induced by LPS. Phospholipids may be a therapeutic target of GTE for anterior chamber inflammation.
