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

Innate immune cells possess memory-like properties. Exposure to infections or sterile inflammation can prime them, leading to either exacerbated inflammatory responses, a process called trained immunity, or reduced responsiveness to pro-inflammatory signals, a process termed immune tolerance. Microglia, the resident innate immune cells of the central nervous system, are central players in neurodegenerative diseases. Characterizing trained immunity and tolerance in microglia is necessary for a better understanding of neurodegenerative diseases. Cell metabolic processes orchestrate microglia inflammatory responses and promote epigenetic changes shaping immune memory in microglia. Here, we review current knowledge on the role of cell metabolic pathways in microglia innate immune memory formation, focusing on glucose, glutamine, and lipid metabolism. Moreover, we address the significance of microglial immune memory in disease pathology and discuss the potential of therapeutic targeting of cell metabolic pathways in neurodegenerative disorders.
