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

Neuroinflammation and brain edema are major complications in the pathophysiology of surgical brain injury (SBI). Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), an immune inhibitory receptor ligand, has been increasingly investigated for inhibition of T cell-mediated immunity and braking inflammatory response. However, the negative immunomodulatory capacity of PD-L1 and their possible mechanism in SBI is not yet clear. This study aimed to evaluate the expression and the role of PD-L1 in a mouse model of SBI induced inflammation and to further study the potential therapeutic effects of PD-L1 on SBI. Here we showed that PD-L1 expression was markedly elevated in the surrounding peri-resection brain tissue post-SBI in vivo. PD-L1 was up-regulated through ERK signal pathway in LPS-treated BV-2 cells in vitro. Furthermore, blockade of the PD-L1 checkpoint using PD-L1 antibody significantly enhanced brain edema, exacerbated apoptosis and increased neurodeficits post-SBI. Moreover, activated PD-1/PD-L1 with PD-L1 protein significantly attenuated the inflammation responses and brain edema post-SBI. These results suggest that enhanced expression of PD-L1 post-SBI exerts self-protection from inflammation and promotes neurological repair. PD-L1 signal may have therapeutic potential for neurodegenerative disorders.
