Selective COX-2 Inhibitors as Neuroprotective Agents in Traumatic Brain Injury.
Review in Biomedicines, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant contributor to mortality and morbidity in people, both young and old. There are currently no approved therapeutic interventions for TBI. Following TBI, cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes generate prostaglandins and reactive oxygen species that perpetuate inflammation, with COX-1 and COX-2 isoforms providing differing responses. Selective COX-2 inhibitors have shown potential as neuroprotective agents. Results from animal models of TBI suggest potential treatment through the alleviation of secondary injury mechanisms involving neuroinflammation and neuronal cell death. Additionally, early clinical trials have shown that the use of celecoxib improves patient mortality and outcomes. This review aims to summarize the therapeutic effects of COX-2 inhibitors observed in TBI animal models, highlighting pertinent studies elucidating molecular pathways and expounding upon their mechanistic actions. We then investigated the current state of evidence for the utilization of COX-2 inhibitors for TBI patients.
