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

aimsInflammation is a pivotal characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. The triggering receptor expressed on the myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) gene has previously been shown to suppress inflammation by directly inhibiting inflammation-related pathways. Mitochondrial dysfunction has recently emerged as another critical pathological manifestation of neurodegenerative diseases. Although TREM2 is involved in the regulation of cellular energy metabolism and mitochondrial autophagy, its role in the relationship between inflammation and mitochondrial autophagy remains unclear.

methodsIn this study, we generated TREM2-overexpressing BV-2 cells and established a neuroinflammatory model with LPS. We compared these cells with wild-type cells in terms of inflammation, metabolism, autophagy, and mitochondria using methods such as RT-qPCR, Western blotting, immunocytochemistry, transmission electron microscopy, and flow cytometry.

resultsMicroglia overexpressing TREM2 exhibited increased resistance to inflammation. Additionally, these cells inhibited the metabolic reprogramming that occurs early in LPS-induced inflammation, reduced ROS release, mitigated mitochondrial damage, maintained a certain level of autophagic activity, and cleared damaged mitochondria. Consequently, they alleviated the inflammation caused by the mitochondrial barrier.

conclusionsur results suggest that TREM2 can alleviate inflammation by maintaining cellular metabolic homeostasis and mitochondrial autophagy activity.
