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

One common feature of neurodegenerative diseases is neuroinflammation. In the case of Parkinson's disease (PD), neuroinflammation appears early and persists throughout the disease course. The principal cellular mediator of brain inflammation is the resident microglia which share many features with related hematopoietically derived macrophages. Microglia can become activated by misfolded proteins including the PD relevant example, alpha-synuclein, a presynaptic protein. When activated, microglia release pro-inflammatory diffusible mediators that promote dysfunction and contribute to the death of the PD vulnerable dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain. Recently, the orphan nuclear receptor Nurr1, well known as a critical determinant in dopaminergic neuron maturation, has been ascribed two new properties. First, it promotes the production and release of the neuropeptide vasoactive intestinal peptide that functions both to stimulate dopaminergic neuron survival and inhibit neuroinflammation. Second, Nurr1 suppresses the expression and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in glial cells. Herein, we discuss these new findings in context of strategies to attenuate neuroinflammation in PD.
