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: Dysregulation of parvalbumin (PV) interneurons has been implicated in sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE), yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood, and effective treatments are lacking. Given the high energy demands of PV interneurons and the emerging role of mitochondrial dynamics in SAE pathophysiology, this study aimed to investigate whether the mitochondrial fission inhibitor Mdivi-1 could alleviate PV interneuron dysfunction and cognitive impairments in a mouse model of SAE. Methods: C57BL/6 male mice were injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to establish an animal model of SAE. Mdivi-1 was administered intraperitoneally 1 h before LPS challenge. Hippocampal tissues were harvested 24 h after LPS challenge for biochemical and histochemical analyses, and mitochondrial morphology was evaluated using transmission electron microscopy. In vivo electrophysiology and behavioral tests were performed between 2 and 4 days after LPS challenge to measure neural oscillations in the hippocampus and assess cognitive function. Results: Our results showed that LPS induced neuroinflammation, mitochondrial fission abnormalities, ATP depletion, and downregulation of PV interneurons in the hippocampus, collectively contributing to reduced gamma oscillations and cognitive impairments in mice. However, these effects were mitigated by Mdivi-1 treatment. Conclusion: Our study suggests that Mdivi-1 may offer a promising therapeutic approach for attenuating PV interneurons dysfunction and cognitive impairments in SAE.
