Atractylenolide I Suppresses A1 Astrocyte Activation to Improve Depression in Mice.
Article in Molecular neurobiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
This work aimed to investigate the role of atractylenolide I (ATR) in resisting depression and its mechanism of action. The mouse model of depression was constructed through chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) method. After ATR intervention, changes in the depression-related behaviors of mice were detected through open field test and elevated plus maze. In addition, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was conducted to detect inflammatory factor levels. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed to measure the mRNA levels of A1/A2 astrocyte markers. Furthermore, primary astrocytes were induced in vitro, and the A1 differentiation level was detected by ELISA and RT-qPCR assays. ATR improved the behaviors of CUMS mice and alleviated the depression symptoms. Moreover, it reduced tissue inflammation, inhibited the A1 differentiation of astrocytes, and decreased the mRNA levels of A1 markers. After NLRP3 knockout, the effects of ATR were suppressed. Similarly, in vitro experimental results also revealed that ATR suppressed the A1 differentiation of astrocytes. Based on molecular dynamics and small molecule-protein docking results, ATR mainly targeted NLRP3 and suppressed the NLRP3-mediated A1 differentiation. We discover that ATR can target NLRP3 to suppress A1 differentiation of astrocytes, restrain tissue inflammation, and improve the depression symptoms in mice.
