Cortistatin-14 Exerts Neuroprotective Effect Against Microglial Activation, Blood-brain Barrier Disruption, and Cognitive Impairment in Sepsis-associated Encephalopathy.
Article in Journal of immunology research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a life-threatening deterioration of mental status in relation to long-term and disabling cognitive dysfunction that is common in intensive care units worldwide. Cortistatin-14 is a neuropeptide structurally resembling somastostatin, which has been proven to play a crucial role in sepsis. The present study aimed to explore the neuroprotective role of cortistatin-14 in sepsis-associated encephalopathy and its underlying mechanisms in a mouse model. A septic mice model was established using the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) method. The novel object recognition test (NORT), open field test (OFT), elevated plus maze test (EPMT), and tail suspension test (TST) were used to explore the behavioral performance of the mice. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the microstructure of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Evans Blue staining was used to examine the integrity of the BBB. Immunofluorescence was used to examine the morphology and infiltration of microglia. A multiplex cytokine bead array assay was used to determine cytokine and chemokine levels in mouse serum and brain tissues. NORT revealed that cortistatin treatment improved cognitive impairment in septic mice. OFT, EPMT, and TST indicated that cortistatin-14 relieved the anxiety-related behaviors of CLP mice. In addition, cortistatin-14 treatment decreased the levels of various inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1
