Effects of extracellular pressure and alcohol on the microglial response to inflammatory stimulation.
Article in American journal of surgery, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundTraumatic brain injury induces a neuroinflammatory response frequently associated with increased intracranial pressure. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of alcohol and increased extracellular pressure on murine BV-2 microglial proliferation and cytokine responses to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation.
methodsBV-2 cells were cultured under 0 or 30 mm Hg increased extracellular pressure without or with ethanol (100 mmol/L) or LPS (10 ng/mL) for 24 hours. Cell proliferation was assessed using MTS assay and secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
resultsIncreased pressure and LPS stimulation each promoted proliferation. Ethanol pretreatment blocked these effects. Basal TNF-α and IL-6 secretion was at the limits of delectability. Basal MCP-1 production was stimulated by pressure, which was blocked by ethanol. Even this low LPS dose stimulated microglial secretion of TNF-α, IL-6, and MCP-1. Pressure inhibited LPS-stimulated production of these proinflammatory cytokines, while ethanol pretreatment blocked LPS-stimulated cytokine production. The combination of pressure and ethanol further reduced TNF-α, IL-6, and MCP-1 secretion by LPS-stimulated microglial cells.
conclusionAlcohol's anti-inflammatory effects may contribute to the reduced mortality from traumatic brain injury that some have described in acutely intoxicated patients, while pressure down-regulation of inflammatory cytokine release could create a negative feedback that ameliorates inflammation in traumatic brain injury.
