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

backgroundThe Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) is a complex and dynamic interface that regulates the exchange of molecules and cells between the blood and the central nervous system. It undergoes structural and functional throughout oxidative stress and inflammation, which may compromise its integrity and contribute to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. MAIN BODY: Maintaining BBB integrity is of utmost importance in preventing a wide range of neurological disorders. NRF2 is the main transcription factor that regulates cellular redox balance and inflammation-related gene expression. It has also demonstrated a potential role in regulating tight junction integrity and contributing to the inhibition of ECM remodeling, by reducing the expression of several metalloprotease family members involved in maintaining BBB function. Overall, we review current insights on the role of NRF2 in addressing protection against the effects of BBB dysfunction, discuss its involvement in BBB maintenance in different neuropathological diseases, as well as, some of its potential activators that have been used in vitro and in vivo animal models for preventing barrier dysfunction.

conclusionsThus, emerging evidence suggests that upregulation of NRF2 and its target genes could suppress oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation, restore BBB integrity, and increase its protection.
