Microglia are the major cellular source of inducible nitric oxide synthase during experimental herpes encephalitis.
Article in Journal of neurovirology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 papers.
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.
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 production of reactive nitrogen and reactive oxygen species (RNS and ROS) is a component of innate defense against viral infection, their overproduction in the brain may also lead to deleterious consequences. To investigate potential immunopathologic roles of oxidative stress during herpes encephalitis, the authors examined the expression kinetics of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) as well as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a marker of oxidative stress, and evaluated infection-induced oxidative brain damage. Results from these studies showed that both iNOS and HO-1 gene expression were highly elevated in the brain within 7 days post infection (d.p.i.) and remained elevated through 21 d.p.i. Real-time bioluminescence imaging of HO-1 promoter-luciferase transgenic mice confirmed HO-1 promoter activity in the brains of HSV-1-infected animals within 3 d.p.i., which peaked between 5 and 7 d.p.i. Immunohistochemical staining for both 3-nitrotyrosine and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG), as well as quantitative assessment of 8-isoprostane levels, demonstrated the presence of viral infection-induced oxidative brain damage. In addition, when brain leukocytes obtained from animals with experimental herpes encephalitis were sorted using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and the individual cell populations analyzed, CD45(int)/CD11b(+) resident microglia were found to be the major cellular source of iNOS expression.
