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

The CCAAT/enhancer binding protein delta (CEBPD, C/EBPδ, NF-IL6β) is induced in many inflammation-related diseases, suggesting that CEBPD and its downstream targets may play central roles in these conditions. Neuropathological studies show that a neuroinflammatory response parallels the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the precise mechanistic correlation between inflammation and AD pathogenesis remains unclear. CEBPD is upregulated in the astrocytes of AD patients. Therefore, we asked if activation of astrocytic CEBPD could contribute to AD pathogenesis. In this report, a novel role of CEBPD in attenuating macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of damaged neuron cells was found. By global gene expression profiling, we identified the inflammatory marker pentraxin-3 (PTX3, TNFAIP5, TSG-14) as a CEBPD target in astrocytes. Furthermore, we demonstrate that PTX3 participates in the attenuation of macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of damaged neuron cells. This study provides the first demonstration of a role for astrocytic CEBPD and the CEBPD-regulated molecule PTX3 in the accumulation of damaged neurons, which is a hallmark of AD pathogenesis.
