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

Our study investigated the role of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) in neuroinflammation-associated depression-like behaviors. Using a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse model of depression, we found that NADPH significantly alleviated depressive-like behaviors, including reduced immobility time and increased sucrose preference. Mechanistic exploration revealed that NADPH suppressed microglial activation, downregulated pro-inflammatory cytokine expression (e.g., IL-1β, TNF-α, IFN-γ), and mitigated oxidative stress in the hippocampus, thereby ameliorating neuroinflammation. Furthermore, NADPH preserved myelin integrity, inhibited microglial phagocytosis of myelin and synapses, and preserved synaptic integrity. These findings provide experimental evidence supporting NADPH as a potential antidepressant agent and highlight its critical role in modulating neuroinflammation via dual suppression of cytokine release and microglial hyperactivation.
