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

Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) regulates the innate immune response of microglia during infection via autophagy. Microglial M1/M2 phenotypic switching after infection could serve as a novel pathogenic mechanism for cerebral infection. Hence, it has important implications for the damage and restoration of neurological function. However, the effect of TLR2-mediated autophagic signaling on microglial phenotypic transition remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the mechanisms of TLR2-mediated autophagic signaling in the regulation of microglial M1/M2 phenotypes. Using Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence, increased autophagy was observed in peptidoglycan (PGN)-stimulated BV2 cells, while reduced autophagy was observed in TLR2-KO cells. In contrast to the TLR2 antagonist CU-CPT22 group, increased autophagy was observed in the presence of the TLR2 agonist Pam3CSK4, which was associated with a significant increase in expression levels of M1 phenotype biomarkers (CD86, TNF-α, IL-6), higher levels of apoptosis, and decreased expression levels of M2 markers (CD206, IL-10, Arg-1). In the TLR2-KO mice, the expression levels of autophagy-related proteins in CD11b
