Proteomics-based screening of the target proteins associated with antidepressant-like effect and mechanism of nimesulide.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Nimesulide is an inhibitor of COX-2 with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, few studies have explored the antidepressant mechanism of nimesulide. Here, we evaluated the therapeutic effects of nimesulide on CUMS rats. iTRAQ technology was used to identify the differentially expressed protein in the hippocampus between CUMS and nimesulide-treated rats to identify the possible molecular mechanism of its effects. We found that nimesulide had positive effects on depressive-like behaviors and inflammatory factors in depressed rats. Using proteomics technologies, we screened 16 differentially expressed proteins in CUMS-exposed rats after nimesulide treatment, 5 of which were related to inflammation. Overall, these results show that nimesulide might mediate its antidepressant effect on depressed rats through the inhibition of oxidative stress inflammatory response.
