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

Edible plant derived extracellular vesicle-like particles (EVLPs) have garnered attention as potential therapeutic agents for chronic inflammatory diseases. Prunus mume (PM) is a functional fruit known for its gastrointestinal benefits, yet the detail material basis and potential mechanism remain unclear. Here, we reported that oral administration of prunus mume derived EVLPs (PM-EVLPs) substantially mitigated experimental colitis in mice. The in vivo bio-distribution analysis revealed that PM-EVLPs specifically targeted inflamed colon of colitis mice. Further in vitro studies demonstrated that PM-EVLPs were predominantly internalized by macrophages. The combined treatment with clodronate liposomes confirmed that macrophage was the target cell for PM-EVLPs-mediated anti-colitis activity. Mechanistically, PM-EVLPs selectively inhibited caspase-1 auto-cleavage and IL-1β secretion caused by NLRP3 inflammasome activation, while exerting minimal impact on AIM2, NLRP1 or NLRC4 inflammasome activation. Excluding the effects on mitochondrial ROS generation, K
