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

Although interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) is known as a critical factor in polarizing macrophages into the pro-inflammatory state for immune response, how dietary flavonoids regulate IFN-γ response for anti-inflammation is incompletely elucidated. This study aims to investigate the effect of fisetin, a typical flavonol, on the inhibition of IFN-γ-induced inflammation by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and cellular metabolism analysis. RAW264 macrophages pretreated with fisetin following IFN-γ stimulation were subjected to RNA-Seq to analyze alterations in gene expression. Cellular signaling and transcription were investigated using enrichment analysis, motif analysis, and transcription factor prediction. Cellular metabolic state was assessed by measuring the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and lactate level to reflect mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis. Alterations in signaling proteins were confirmed by Western blot. The results revealed that fisetin downregulated the IFN-γ-induced expression of pro-inflammatory genes and M1 marker genes such as
