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

Bacterial meningitis remains one of the most prevalent infectious diseases worldwide. Although advances in medical care have improved mortality and morbidity, neurological complications remain high. Therefore, aside from antibiotics, therapeutic adjuvants targeting neuroinflammation are essential to combat the long-term neuronal sequelae of bacterial meningitis. In the present study, we propose (-)-dendroparishiol as a potential add-on therapy to improve neuroinflammation associated with bacterial meningitis. The biological activity of (-)-dendroparishiol was first predicted by computational analysis and further confirmed in vitro using a cell-based assay with LPS-induced BV-2 microglial cells. Biological pathways involved with (-)-dendroparishiol were identified by applying network pharmacology. Computational predictions of biological activity indicated possible attenuation of several inflammatory processes by (-)-dendroparishiol. In LPS-induced BV-2 microglial cells, (-)-dendroparishiol significantly reduced the expression of inflammatory mediators: iNOS, NO, COX-2, IL-6, and TNF-α. Molecular docking results demonstrated the potential iNOS and COX-2 inhibitory activity of (-)-dendroparishiol. Network pharmacological analysis indicated the plausible role of (-)-dendroparishiol in biological processes involved in oxidative stress and neuroinflammation with enrichment in neuroinflammatory pathways. Overall, this study provides scientific evidence for the potential application of (-)-dendroparishiol in the management of bacterial meningitis-associated neuroinflammation.
