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

Microglia, resident macrophages of the brain that act as primary immune cells, play essential roles in innate immunity and neuroinflammatory pathologies. Microglial cells are rapidly activated in response to infection and inflammation/injury, associated with the expression of proinflammatory genes and secretion of cytokines. The bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) inhibitor JQ1 has been shown to be an epigenetic agent that reduces inflammation. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying the anti-inflammatory and anti-migratory functions of JQ1 and the genes targeted by JQ1 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated human microglial clone 3 (HMC3) cells using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). We analyzed the pattern of inflammation-related genes (chemokines, cytokines, and interferon-stimulated genes) and migration-related genes with JQ1 treatment from differentially expressed genes analysis in HMC3 cells. We found that LPS-induced IRF1 directly regulated inflammation- and migration-related genes and that JQ1 significantly reduced IRF1 and its target genes. Additionally, IRF1 attenuation significantly downregulated target genes and inhibited microglial migration. Our data suggest that the BET inhibitor JQ1 can modulate the inflammatory response and migration through the regulation of LPS-induced IRF1 in human microglia.
