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

Inflammation has been suggested to contribute to the pathophysiology of depression. The T cell death associated gene-8 (TDAG8) receptor is a proton-sensing G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) expressed on immune cells in both the CNS and periphery. Previous work has shown modulation of inflammation by the TDAG8 receptor, with pro-inflammatory responses reported in the central nervous system (CNS). Given the link between depression and inflammation, the aim of the present study was to investigate the role of TDAG8 in depression relevant behaviors. Mice deficient in TDAG8 (TDAG8(-/-)) were tested in the forced swim test (FST) and sucrose preference paradigm. TDAG8 deficiency resulted in significant attenuation of immobility in the FST as compared to wild type TDAG8 (TDAG8(+/+)) mice. These differences were not due to alterations in motor activity evoked by TDAG8 deficiency as TDAG8(+/+) and TDAG8(-/-) mice displayed similar activity in the home cage or in a novel context. TDAG8(-/-) mice showed significantly higher consumption of sucrose compared to wild type mice although sucrose preference was not significantly different between genotypes. Collectively, our results support the involvement of the TDAG8 receptor in behavioral response relevant to depression. Further investigation is required to validate TDAG8 as a novel target linking inflammation and depression.
