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

Neuroinflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis or the progression of a variety of acute and chronic neurological and neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. Prostaglandin H synthases or cyclooxygenases (COX -1 and COX-2) play a central role in the inflammatory cascade by converting arachidonic acid into bioactive prostanoids. In this review, we highlighted recent experimental data that challenge the classical view that the inducible isoform COX-2 is the most appropriate target to treat neuroinflammation. First, we discuss data showing that COX-2 activity is linked to anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective actions and is involved in the generation of novel lipid mediators with pro-resolution properties. Then, we review recent data demonstrating that COX-1, classically viewed as the homeostatic isoform, is actively involved in brain injury induced by pro-inflammatory stimuli including Aβ, lipopolysaccharide, IL-1β, and TNF-α. Overall, we suggest revisiting the traditional views on the roles of each COX during neuroinflammation and we propose COX-1 inhibition as a viable therapeutic approach to treat CNS diseases with a marked inflammatory component.
