Systemic Inflammation as a Driver of Brain Injury: the Astrocyte as an Emerging Player.
Article in Molecular neurobiology, 2018. 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 31 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
Severe systemic inflammation has strong effects on brain functions, promoting permanent neurocognitive dysfunction and high mortality rates. Additionally, hippocampal damage seems to be directly involved in this process and astrocytes play an important role in neuroinflammation and in the neuroimmune response. However, the contribution of the astrocytes to the pathology of acute brain dysfunction is not well understood. Recently, our group established a protocol for obtaining astrocyte cultures from mature brain to allow the characterization of these cells and their functions under pathologic conditions. The present study was designed to characterize astrocyte function after acute systemic inflammation induced by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP). Hippocampal astrocyte cultures from CLP animals presented increased levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-18, and cyclooxygenase-2 and decreased levels of IL-10. This proinflammatory profile was accompanied by an increase in Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 mRNA expression levels and no change either in TLR4 or in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene expression. These alterations were associated with increased expressions of p21, nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in astrocytes from CLP animals. The same parameters were also evaluated in whole hippocampal tissue, but differences in this profile were found compared to hippocampal astrocyte cultures from CLP, reflecting an interaction between other central nervous system cell types, which may mask specific astrocytic changes. These results improve our understanding of the mechanisms by which astrocytes react against systemic inflammation, and suggest these cells to be potential targets for therapeutic modulation.
