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

objectivesQuercetin (QUE) possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory functions. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) can initiate protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase (PERK), leading to immune dysfunction and necroptosis. Our findings elucidate the therapeutic potential of QUE in attenuating LPS-induced injury in immune tissues.

methodsBroilers and MSB-1 cells were treated with LPS or/and QUE. We also treated MSB-1 cells with an Nrf2 inhibitor (ML385), a PERK activator (MK-28), and a necroptosis inhibitor (NSA) to further explore the detailed mechanism. In addition, we further conducted network pharmacology and bioinformatics to analyze the regulatory relationship between QUE and genes.

resultsCombined analysis of network pharmacology and bioinformatics uncovered QUE regulates Nrf2 activation and its crosstalk with PERK signaling, influencing calcium homeostasis, necroptosis, and inflammation. Based on experimental validation, our findings demonstrated QUE treatment reduced LPS-induced imbalance in redox homeostasis through Nrf2 signaling pathway. QUE treatment downregulated the expression of cytokines linked to ERS, necroptosis, and inflammation. In addition, QUE treatment protected against LPS-induced immune function disorders.

conclusionQUE treatment efficiently attenuated thymus immune disorders and necroptosis in broilers through Nrf2/PERK signaling. This investigation enriches biological function of QUE, providing a solid foundation for developing its potential application.
