Age-dependent therapeutic effects of liver X receptor-α activation in murine polymicrobial sepsis.
Article in Innate immunity, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The severity of sepsis is significantly affected by advanced age; however, age-dependent molecular mechanisms of this susceptibility are unknown. Nuclear liver X receptor-α (LXRα) is a regulator of lipid metabolism with associated anti-inflammatory properties. Here, we investigated the role of LXRα in age-dependent lung injury and outcome of sepsis. Male C57BL/6, LXRα-deficient (LXRα(-/-)) and wild type (WT) (LXRα(+/+)) mice of different ages were subjected to sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). In pharmacological studies, treatment with the LXRα ligand T0901317 reduced lung neutrophil infiltration in C57BL/6 mice aged from 1 to 8 mo when compared with vehicle-treated animals subjected to CLP. The LXRα ligand improved survival in young mice (2-3 mo old) but did not affect survival or neutrophil infiltration in mature adult mice (11-13 mo old). Immunoblotting revealed an age-dependent decrease of lung LXRα levels. Young LXRα(-/-) mice (2-3 mo old) exhibited earlier mortality than age-matched WT mice after CLP. Lung damage and neutrophil infiltration, lung activation of the pro-inflammatory NF-κB and plasma IL-6 levels were higher in LXRα(-/-) mice 18 h after CLP compared with LXRα(+/+) mice. This study suggests that the anti-inflammatory properties of LXRα in sepsis are age-dependent and severely compromised in mature adult animals.
