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

Neuroinflammation is evident in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains, exacerbating the pathology and ensuing cognitive deficits in patients. The prostaglandin-E2 receptor EP2 emerged as a neuroinflammatory target in several neurodegenerative diseases, including AD. Antagonism of EP2 mitigates neuroinflammation and cognitive deficits in status epilepticus and stroke models. Here, we investigated the efficacy of a potent and selective EP2 antagonist TG11-77.HCl on the cognitive behavior and neuroinflammation in a two-hit 5xFAD mouse model of AD. We exposed adult 5xFAD mice on B6SJL genetic background and their nontransgenic littermates to a low dose of lipopolysaccharide and administered TG11-77.HCl or the vehicle in the drinking water for 12 weeks. Mice were subjected to Morris water maze and Y-maze testing during their last week of drug treatment. Blood samples were subjected to complete blood count (CBC) analysis and brain tissues were processed to examine the levels of inflammatory transcripts and glial marker expression (mRNA), followed by the quantification of congophilic amyloid deposition and microglial activation (IBA
