The TSPO-specific Ligand PK11195 Protects Against LPS-Induced Cognitive Dysfunction by Inhibiting Cellular Autophagy.
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) is a common postoperative neurological complication. Neuroinflammation is a major cause that leads to PND. Autophagy, an intracellular process of lysosomal degradation, plays an important role in the development and maintenance of nervous system. PK11195 is a classic translocator protein (TSPO) ligand, which can improve the cognitive function of rats. In this study, we evaluate the protective effect of PK11195 on the learning and memory of rats. A rat model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cognitive dysfunction was established by intraperitoneal injection of LPS. Morris Water Maze (MWM), Western blot, qRT-PCR, confocal microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to study the role of TSPO-specific ligand PK11195 in LPS-activated mitochondrial autophagy in rat hippocampus. We found that PK11195 ameliorated LPS-induced learning and memory impairment, as indicated by decreased escape latencies, swimming distances and increased target quadrant platform crossing times and swimming times during MWM tests. TSPO, ATG7, ATG5, LC3B and p62 protein and mRNA expression increased in the hippocampus of PND model rats. The hippocampal microglia of PND model rats also have severe mitochondrial damage, and a large number of autophagosomes and phagocytic vesicles can be seen. PK11195 pretreatment significantly decreased the expression of TSPO, ATG7, ATG5, LC3B and p62 protein and mRNA, as well as mitochondrial damage. These findings suggested that PK11195 may alleviate the damage of LPS-induced cognitive dysfunction of rats by inhibiting microglia activation and autophagy.
