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

The NLR family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome drives the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Ginkgolide B (GB) is a potential anti-inflammatory compound that controls neuro-inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of GB on the NLRP3 inflammasome in AD. The effect of GB on the conversion between the M1 and M2 microglial phenotype was examined using quantitative real-time PCR and immunostaining. Western blotting assays and ELISA were used to detect changes in neuro-inflammation following GB treatment, including the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway and autophagy. In order to evaluate the cognitive function of male senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) mice, behavioral tests, including the Morris water maze and novel object recognition tests, were performed. GB significantly decreased the intracellular pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in lipopolysaccharide-treated BV2 cells and improved cognitive behavior in SAMP8 mice. Moreover, GB deactivated the NLRP3 inflammasome, and this effect was dependent on autophagy. Ubiquitination was associated with GB-induced autophagic NLRP3 degradation. These results were further validated in the hippocampus of SAMP8 mice. Thus, GB exerted a neuroprotective effect on the cognitive function of SAMP8 mice by suppressing the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome via autophagic degradation.
