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

Acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid is one of the main active components of Boswellia sp. resin with the most potent anti-inflammatory activity. In recent years, herbal therapy has received considerable attention for the treatments of inflammatory and demyelinating diseases such as Multiple sclerosis (MS). Studies have shown that herbal compounds could enhance myelin repair and suppress inflammation. This study was designed to investigate the therapeutic effects of intraperitoneal administration of AKBA in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE), as an animal model of MS. Following EAE induction in female C57BL/6J mice, animals were treated with AKBA and the levels of different serum inflammatory mediators, as well as motor functions, myelination, and inflammatory cell infiltration were assessed. Our results revealed that the application of AKBA alleviated EAE clinical severity, and suppressed inflammation, demyelination, leukocyte infiltration, and gliosis in EAE mice. Our findings suggest that the therapeutic effects of AKBA are likely a consequence of its neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties. The beneficial effects of AKBA may therefore provide new insights in various neuroinflammatory diseases such as MS and thereby could serve as a potential treatment candidate.
