ApoE4 Exacerbates Hippocampal Pathology Following Acute Brain Penetration Injury in Female Mice.
Article in Journal of molecular neuroscience : MN, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The ɛ4 allele of apolipoprotein E (apoE4) is the most prevalent genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. ApoE4 is also associated with poor recovery and functional outcome following traumatic brain injury. This study examined the effects of the apoE genotype on brain pathology following acute injury, induced by penetration of a needle through the cortex and hippocampus, at 3 and 14 days following the injury in female apoE3 and apoE4 α-synuclein-deficient targeted replacement (TR) mice. The results obtained revealed a marked inflammatory, synaptic and vascular response following the needle penetration injury (NPI). These results were found to be affected by the apoE genotype such that the inflammatory response, as measured utilizing the astrocytic marker GFAP and the microglial marker iba1, was faster and more prolonged in the apoE4 than in the apoE3 mice. The synaptic changes following the injury included a transient increase in synaptophysin levels in the apoE3 and not in the apoE4 mice, which was associated with a subsequent decrease in glutamatergic synapses, as measured utilizing VGluT1, in apoE4 and not in the apoE3 mice. Unlike these effects, measurements of the vasculature utilizing collagen IV as a marker revealed a significant increase which was similar in both apoE3 and apoE4 mice. Taken together, these results show that following acute brain injury, there is an apoE4-specific inflammatory and neuronal response to the injury. The NPI model provides a useful tool for studying the mechanism underlying the effects of apoE4 following acute brain injury and for the development of a corresponding anti-apoE4-targeted treatment.
