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

Role of autophagy in Japanese encephalitis viral (JEV) infection is not well known. In the present study, we reported the role of autophagy flux in microglia activation, neurobehavioral function and neuronal death using a mouse model of JEV. Markers for autophagy (LC3-II/I, SQSTM1/P62, phos-Akt, phos-AMPK), and neuronal death (cleaved caspase 12, H2Ax, polyubiquitin) were investigated by western blot at 1, 3 and 7 days post inoculation. Cathepsin D was measured in cerebral cotex of JEV infected mice spectrophotometrically. Microglia activation and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL1β, TNF-α, IFNγ, IL6) were measured by immunohistochemistry, western blot and qPCR analysis. In order to determine the neuroinflammatory changes and autophagy mediated neuronal cell death, BV2-microglia and N2a-neuronal cells were used. Autophagy activation marker LC3-II/I and its substrate SQSTM1/P62 were significantly increased while cathepsin D activity was decreased on day 7 post inoculation in cerebral cortex. Microglia in cortex were activated and showed higher expression of proinflammatory mRNA of IL1β, TNF-α, IFNγ and IL6, with increased DNA damage (H2AX) and neuronal cell death pathways in hippocampus and neurobehavioral dysfunction. Similar observations on JEV infection mediated autophagy flux inhibition and neuronal cell death was found in N2a neuronal cell. Collectively, our study provides evidence on the role of autophagy regulation, microglial activation and neurodegeneration following JEV infection.
