1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In response to brain injury or infections, astrocytes become reactive, undergo striking morphological and functional changes, and secrete and respond to a spectrum of inflammatory mediators. We asked whether reactive astrocytes also display adaptive responses during sterile IL-1β-induced neuroinflammation, which may limit tissue injury associated with many disorders of the central nervous system. We found that astrocytes display days-to-weeks long specific tolerance of cytokine genes, which is coordinated by NF-κB family member, RelB. However, in contrast to innate immune cells, astrocytic tolerance does not involve epigenetic silencing of the cytokine genes. Establishment of tolerance depends on persistent higher levels of RelB in tolerant astrocytes and its phosphorylation on serine 472. Mechanistically, this phosphorylation prevents efficient removal of RelB from cytokine promoters by IκBα and helps to establish tolerance. Importantly, ablation of RelB from astrocytes in mice abolishes tolerance during experimental neuroinflammation in vivo.
