The TNF-α/NF-κB signaling pathway has a key role in methamphetamine-induced blood-brain barrier dysfunction.
Article in Journal of cerebral blood flow and metabolism : official journal of the International Society of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 58 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
Methamphetamine (METH) is a psychostimulant that causes neurologic and psychiatric abnormalities. Recent studies have suggested that its neurotoxicity may also result from its ability to compromise the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Herein, we show that METH rapidly increased the vesicular transport across endothelial cells (ECs), followed by an increase of paracellular transport. Moreover, METH triggered the release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and the blockade of this cytokine or the inhibition of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway prevented endothelial dysfunction. Since astrocytes have a crucial role in modulating BBB function, we further showed that conditioned medium obtained from astrocytes previously exposed to METH had a negative impact on barrier properties also via TNF-α/NF-κB pathway. Animal studies corroborated the in vitro results. Overall, we show that METH directly interferes with EC properties or indirectly via astrocytes through the release of TNF-α and subsequent activation of NF-κB pathway culminating in barrier dysfunction.
