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

Background: Peripheral inflammation-triggered mild neuroinflammation impacts the brain and behavior through microglial activation. In this study, we performed an unbiased analysis of the vulnerability of different brain areas to neuroinflammation induced by systemic inflammation. Methods: We injected mice with a single low dose of LPS to induce mild inflammation and then analyzed microglial activation in 34 brain regions by immunohistochemical methods and whole-brain imaging using multi-slide scanning microscopy. We also conducted quantitative RT-PCR to measure the levels of inflammatory cytokines in selected brain regions of interest. Results: We found that microglia in different brain regions are differentially activated by mild, LPS-induced inflammation relative to the increase in microglia numbers or increased CD68 expression. The increased number of microglia induced by mild inflammation was not attributable to infiltration of peripheral immune cells. In addition, microglia residing in brain regions, in which a single low-dose injection of LPS produced microglial changes, preferentially generated pro-inflammatory cytokines. Conclusion: Our results suggest that mild neuroinflammation induces regionally different microglia activation, producing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Our observations provide insight into induction of possible region-specific neuroinflammation-associated brain pathologies through microglial activation.
