Sepsis Impairs Purkinje Cell Functions and Motor Behaviors Through Microglia Activation.
Article in Cerebellum (London, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
The most common clinical manifestation of sepsis-related encephalopathy (SAE) is the deterioration of cognitive function. Besides, increasing evidence shows that SAE patients exhibit coordination and sensorimotor dysfunctions, suggesting that SAE affects motor function with unclear mechanism. In the present work, we explored the effects of SAE on cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) using cecal ligation and perforation (CLP), a standard model for inducing sepsis symptoms similar to those in human patients. Our results show that the sepsis can activate microglia in the cerebellum and promote the secretion of inflammatory factor TNF-α, which increases intrinsic excitability and synaptic transmission of PCs, inhibits the synaptic plasticity of PCs, and impairs motor learning of mice. These findings address how SAE changes PC functions, and thereby are of great significance to reveal pathophysiological feathers of human patients suffering from SAE.
