Axl activation attenuates neuroinflammation by inhibiting the TLR/TRAF/NF-κB pathway after MCAO in rats.

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
background and purposeIschemic stroke activates Toll-like receptors (TLRs), triggering rapid inflammatory cytokine production. Axl signaling has multiple roles, including regulating cytokine secretion, clearing apoptotic cells, and maintaining cell survival, however, its role in inflammation after ischemic stroke has not been examined. We hypothesized that activation of Axl by recombinant Growth-arrest-specific protein 6 (rGas6) attenuates neuroinflammation by inhibiting the TLR/TRAF/NF-κB pathway after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats. METH: Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 2h of MCAO. One hour after reperfusion, the rats were given an intranasal injection of rGas6, vehicle, or R428 (Axl receptor inhibitor). Neurological scores, infarct volumes, immunofluorescence staining, Morris Water Maze, rotarod test and histology alterations were analyzed. The expressions of proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and Gas6, Axl, STAT1, SOCS1, SOCS3 and the TLR/TRAF/NF-κB pathway were quantified using Western blot.
resultsEndogenous expressions of Gas6 and Axl decreased significantly by 24h after MCAO. rGas6 reduced brain infarction and improved neurologic deficits scores, and increased expression of Axl and decreased the expressions of TRAF3, TRAF6 and inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. Four weeks after MCAO, rGas6 improved long-term neurological behavior and memory. Inhibition of the Axl/TLR/TRAF/NF-κB pathway reversed the brain protection by rGas6.
conclusionrGas6 reduced the neurological deficits by inhibiting neuroinflammation via the TLR/TRAF/NF-κB signaling pathway. rGas6 can be used as potential treatment to ischemic stroke.
