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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesInflammation and oxidative stress are the main pathogenetic pathways involved in the development of several chronic degenerative diseases. Our study is aimed at assessing the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of hydroalcoholic extracts obtained from wheat and its derivatives.

methodsThe content of total phenolic and total flavonoid compounds and antioxidant activity were carried out by ABTS and DPPH assays. The ability of wheat extracts to promote microglia polarization towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype was evaluated analyzing the increased expression of anti-inflammatory markers by real-time qPCR and immunofluorescence assays. Antioxidant activity of all the extracts was evaluated in

resultsWheat extracts showed the ability to polarize microglia cells towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype, even after the addition of LPS. An antioxidant response was detected both in microglia and in

conclusionsThe present study shows that wheat seeds, flour, chaff, and pasta present anti-inflammatory as well as antioxidant activities and may be considered as prospective positive health agents for the preparation of functional foods. Moreover, the valorization of by-products from agricultural and agro-industrial activities would also have significant implications in terms of circular economy.
