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

objectiveCold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRBP) has been shown to be involved not only in cooling-induced cellular protection but also as a mediator of sterile inflammation, a critical mechanism of the innate immune response in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The role of microglia and its activation in cerebral I/R injury warrants further investigation as both detrimental and regenerative properties have been described. Therefore, we investigated the effects of cooling, specifically viability, activation, and release of damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) on oxygen glucose deprivation/reperfusion- (OGD/R-) induced injury in murine BV-2 microglial cells.

methodsMurine BV-2 microglial cells were exposed to 2 to 6 h OGD (0.2% O

resultsProlonged exposure to OGD resulted in increased BV-2 necrotic cell death, which was attenuated by cooling. Cooling also significantly induced cold-shock proteins CIRBP and RBM3 gene expressions, with CIRBP expression more rapidly regulated than RBM3 and translatable to significantly increased protein expression. DAMPs including HMGB-1, HSP70, and CIRBP could be detected in cultured supernatants after 6 h of OGD with CIRBP release being significantly attenuated by cooling. Exposure to OGD suppressed cytokine gene expressions of IL-1

conclusionBV-2 microglial cells undergo necrotic cell death resulting in DAMP release due to OGD/R-induced injury. Cooling conveyed neuroprotection in OGD/R-injury as observable in increased cell viability as well as induced gene expressions of cold shock proteins. As cooling alone resulted in both upregulation of microglial activation, expression of proinflammatory cytokines, and cold shock protein transcript and protein expression, temperature management might have ambiguous effects in sterile inflammation. However, cooling resulted in a significant decrease of extracellular CIRBP, which has recently been characterized as a novel DAMP and a potent initiator and mediator of inflammation.
