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

Central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS-TB) is caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The inflammatory response following CNS-TB involves the activation of resident microglia and the infiltration of macrophages. However, it has not been clarified whether microglia can be polarized into the classically activated proinflammatory M1 phenotype or the alternatively activated anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype after Mtb infection. In this study, we found that BV2 treated with conditioned media from cultures of macrophages infected with Mycobacterium marinum (Mm) induced the expression of M1 phenotypic genes including iNOS, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, CCL2, and CXCL10 but reduced that of M2 phenotypic genes such as Arginase 1, Ym1, and CD163. These results suggest that polarization of microglia is partly mediated through macrophage-microglia interactions as a priming signal. Overall, these results provide new insights into the modulatory mechanisms of microglial polarization, thereby possibly facilitating the development of new therapies for CNS-TB infection via the regulation of microglial polarization through signalling derived from macrophages infected with mycobacteria.
