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

Introduction: Growing recognition of microglia's role in neurodegenerative disorders has accentuated the need to characterize microglia profiles and their influence on pathogenesis. To understand changes observed in the microglial profile during the progression of synucleinopathies, microglial gene expression and DNA methylation were examined in the mThy1- Methods: Disease progression was determined using behavioral tests evaluating locomotor deficits before DNA and RNA extraction at 7 and 10 months from isolated microglia for enzymatic methyl-sequencing and RNA-sequencing. Results: Pathway analysis of these changes at 7 months indicates a pro-inflammatory profile and changes in terms related to synaptic maintenance. Expression and methylation at both 7 and 10 months included terms regarding mitochondrial and metabolic stress. While behavior symptoms progressed at 10 months, we see many previously activated pathways being inhibited in microglia at a later stage, with only 8 of 53 shared pathways predicted to be directionally concordant. Despite the difference in pathway directionality, 21 of the 22 genes that were differentially expressed and annotated to differentially methylated regions at both 7 and 10 months had conserved directionality changes. Discussion: These results highlight a critical period in disease progression, during which the microglia respond to
