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

backgroundInflammation-sensitized hypoxic-ischemic brain injury significantly contributes to neonatal mortality as affected neonates do not benefit from standard cooling treatments. To get further insight into inflammatory responses involved, we experimentally investigated the immune response of microglia in an inflammation-sensitized neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) model.

resultsTranscriptomic analysis of microglia isolated from brains following inflammation-sensitized HI brain injury revealed a strong upregulation of leukocyte recruitment and pro-inflammatory markers. Specifically, markers associated with neutrophil-mediated immune responses and chemotaxis were upregulated in the inflammation-sensitized HI group compared to the non-inflammation-sensitized HI and control groups. Serpine 1 and Selp could be identified as specifically upregulated markers indicating an acute inflammatory condition before HI injury.

conclusionOur study revealed preliminary data about a microglia population which is primed to recruit peripheral neutrophils to infiltrate the brain and mediate neutrophil immune response. We showed a contribution to neutrophil activation in case of inflammation following HI in the brain. Targeting microglia-mediated neutrophil recruitment can indicate a possible treatment approach in case of inflammation-sensitized HI brain injury.
