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

Background: Neuroinflammation is linked to the development of depression. Exposure to the proinflammatory endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is associated with a depressive-like phenotype in rodents. However, acute LPS exposure may reflect sickness behavior, and thus the molecular mechanisms and neurobehavioral changes associated with chronic neuroinflammation warrant investigation. Methods: Using male Sprague Dawley rats ( Results: LPS administration induced systemic inflammation and subsequent neuroinflammation, as evidenced by increased circulating concentrations and regional expression of proinflammatory cytokines ( Conclusions: Taken together, our findings suggest that in LPS-induced systemic inflammation,
