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

introductionMicroglia and macrophages participate in hematoma clearance after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), thereby facilitating tissue restoration and neurological recovery. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (Trem2) has been indicated as a major pathology-induced immune signaling hub on the microglial/macrophage surface. Soluble Trem2 (sTrem2), the proteolytic form of Trem2, is abundant in the body fluid and is positively correlated with the pathological process.

objectivesIn the present study, we aimed to investigate the potential role of sTrem2 in hematoma resolution after ICH and to elucidate its underlying mechanisms.

methodsWe explored the biological functions of sTrem2 in the murine ICH brain by stereotaxic injection of recombinant sTrem2 protein or by adeno-associated virus-mediated expression. Erythrocyte phagocytosis was assessed using flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. Western blotting was performed to evaluate protein expression. Changes in behavior, sTrem2-induced down-stream pathway, and microglia were examined.

resultssTrem2 impedes hematoma resolution and impairs functional motor and sensory recovery. Interestingly, sTrem2 bypasses full-length Trem2, negatively regulating microglial/macrophage erythrophagocytosis, and promotes an inflammatory phenotype, which is associated with reduced retromer levels and impaired recycling of the pro-erythrophagocytic receptor CD36. Rescue of retromer Vps35 abolishes the phagocytosis-inhibiting effects and lysosome-dependent CD36 degradation caused by sTrem2.

conclusionThese findings indicate sTrem2 as a negative factor against microglia/macrophage-mediated hematoma and related neuronal damage clearance, provide insight into the mechanisms by which erythrophagocytosis is regulated and how it may be impaired after ICH, and suggest that the anti-proteolytic activity of Trem2 can be explored for ICH therapy.
