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

Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a cytokine that is upregulated in different neuroinflammatory disorders. Using mice with transgenic PTN overexpression in the brain (Ptn-Tg), we have found a positive correlation between iNos and Tnfα mRNA and Ptn mRNA levels in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of LPS-treated mice. PTN is an inhibitor of Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (RPTP) β/ζ, which is mainly expressed in the central nervous system. We aimed to test if RPTPβ/ζ is involved in the modulation of neuroinflammatory responses using specific inhibitors of RPTPβ/ζ (MY10 and MY33-3). Treatment with MY10 potentiated LPS-induced microglial responses in the mouse PFC. Surprisingly, MY10 caused a decrease in LPS-induced NF-κB p65 expression, suggesting that RPTPβ/ζ may be involved in a novel mechanism of potentiation of microglial activation independent of the NF-κB p65 pathway. MY33-3 and MY10 limited LPS-induced nitrites production and iNos increases in BV2 microglial cells. SH-SY5Y neuronal cells were treated with the conditioned media from MY10/LPS-treated BV2 cells. Conditioned media from non-stimulated and from LPS-stimulated BV2 cells increased the viability of SH-SY5Y cultures. RPTPβ/ζ inhibition in microglial cells disrupted this neurotrophic effect of microglia, suggesting that RPTPβ/ζ plays a role in the neurotrophic phenotype of microglia and in microglia-neuron communication.
