Does infliximab attenuate oxidative stress following traumatic brain injury?
Article in Ulusal travma ve acil cerrahi dergisi = Turkish journal of trauma & emergency surgery : TJTES, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundTraumatic brain injury is a global health problem. Infliximab is used daily to treat a variety of inflammatory systemic disorders. The goal of this study was to compare the pathological and biochemical changes induced by dexamethasone and infliximab usage in rats with blunt head trauma.
methodsThirty-two adult rats were used in our study. Groups of eight animals were used, and those with skin incision without any additional trauma were called sham (Group 1); those with skin incision and head trauma were called control (Group 2); those who received 1 mg/kg intraperitoneal dexamethasone immediately after head trauma were called steroid (Group 3); and those who received 5 mg/kg subcutaneous infliximab immediately after trauma were called infliximab (Group 4). The animals were euthanized seven days after the operation.
resultsBrain tissue malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) values of the four groups were compared and a statistically significant difference was shown. However, no significant difference was observed between the infliximab and dexamethasone groups in terms of tissue MDA, SOD, and GPx concentrations. Pathological sections showed that trauma-induced cortical damage, interstitial edema, and perivascular edema were reduced in the infliximab group.
conclusionInfliximab demonstrates comparable neuroprotective effects to dexamethasone in oxidative stress markers, while providing superior efficacy in edema reduction.
