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

Histamine is a major peripheral inflammatory mediator and a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. We have reported that histamine induces microglia activation and releases proinflammatory factors in primary cultured microglia. Whether histamine has similar effects in vivo is unknown. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the role of histamine and its receptors in the release of inflammatory mediators and activation of microglia in rat brain. We site-directed injected histamine, histamine receptor agonists or histamine receptor antagonists in the rat lateral ventricle using stereotaxic techniques. Flow cytometry was employed to determine histamine receptor expression in rat microglia. Microglia activation was assessed by Iba1 immunohistochemistry. The levels of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were measured with commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-10 mRNA expressions were determined with Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). We found that all four types of histamine receptors were expressed in rat brain microglia. Histamine was able to induce microglia activation and subsequent production of the inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-10, and these effects were partially abolished by H
