Increased Peripheral CD137 Expression in a Mouse Model of Permanent Focal Cerebral Ischemia.
Article in Cellular and molecular neurobiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Various studies demonstrate that CD137 (TNFRSF9, 4-1BB) promotes atherosclerosis and vascular inflammation in experimental models via interactions with the CD137 ligand (CD137L). However, the exact role of CD137 in ischemic stroke remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed dynamic changes of peripheral CD137 expression on T cells in a mouse model of cerebral ischemia-middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), as well as alternation of neurological function, infarct size and cerebral inflammatory status after inhibition of the CD137/CD137L pathway using an anti-CD137L monoclonal antibody. MCAO mice showed elevated surface expression of CD137 on T cells in both peripheral blood and lymphoid tissues during early cerebral ischemia. Remarkably, blockade of the CD137/CD137L pathway reduced the post-ischemic brain damage. Our findings indicate that enhanced CD137 costimulation occurs in early cerebral ischemia and promotes T cell activation, which in turn upregulates inflammatory immune response and possibly exerting deleterious effects on cerebral ischemia.
