Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Microglial Neuroinflammation: Attenuation by FK866.
Article in Neurochemical research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Alleviating microglia-mediated neuroinflammation bears great promise to reduce neurodegeneration. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) may exert cytokine-like effect in the brain. However, it remains unclear about role of NAMPT in microglial inflammation. Also, it remains unknown about effect of NAMPT inhibition on microglial inflammation. In the present study, we observed that FK866 (a specific noncompetitive NAMPT inhibitor) dose-dependently inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced proinflammatory mediator (interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, inducible nitric oxide synthase, nitric oxide and reactive species) level increase in BV2 microglia cultures. FK866 also significantly inhibited LPS-induced polarization change in microglia. Furthermore, LPS significantly increased NAMPT expression and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) phosphorylation in microglia. FK866 significantly decreased NAMPT expression and NF-κB phosphorylation in LPS-treated microglia. Finally, conditioned medium from microglia cultures co-treated with FK866 and LPS significantly increased SH-SY5Y and PC12 cell viability compared with conditioned medium from microglia cultures treated with LPS alone. Our study strongly indicates that NAMPT may be a promising target for microglia modulation and NAMPT inhibition may attenuate microglial inflammation.
