Hepatoprotective effect of avicularin on lead-induced steatosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation in mice associated with the MAPK/HSP60/NLRP3 and SREBP1c pathway.
Article in Toxicology research, 2023. 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
Lead (Pb), an environmental hazard, causes severe diseases in the liver, kidney, cardiovascular system, hematopoietic system, reproductive system, and nervous system. Avicularin (AVI), the main dietary flavonoid found in many citrus fruits, exhibited potential protective properties on organs. However, the molecular mechanisms of these protective actions are currently not clear. In our study, the effects of AVI on Pb-induced hepatotoxicity were evaluated using ICR mice. Changes in oxidative stress, inflammation, lipid metabolism, and related signaling were evaluated. We found for the first time that treatment with AVI significantly reduced hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress induced by Pb. AVI attenuated Pb-induced liver dysfunction and lipid metabolism disorder in mice. AVI decreased the serum biochemical indicators of lipid metabolism. AVI decreased the expression levels of lipid metabolism-related protein SREBP-1c, acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), and FAS. AVI suppressed Pb-induced inflammation in livers, as indicated by decreasing the TNF-α and IL-1β levels. AVI suppressed oxidative stress by increasing the activation of SOD, CAT, and GPx. Furthermore, AVI inhibited the activities of JNK, ERK, p38, and NF-κB. AVI further decreased the levels of HSP60, NLRP3, p-IκBα, and p-p65 in the livers of mice. Collectively, this study indicated that AVI mitigated Pb-induced hepatic steatosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation by regulating the SREBP-1c and MAPK/HSP60/NLRP3 signaling pathways.
