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

Microglia maintain brain homeostasis through coordinated pathways, including cell migration, phagocytosis, and secretion of immune-related signaling factors. Microglial reactivity is associated with a variety of functional outcomes that are highly context-dependent withepigenetic regulation through DNA methylation and histone modifications implicated in this complex control of microglial plasticity. Specifically, in relation to histone methylation, lysine-specific demethylase 5B (KDM5B) has been associated with several pathophysiological states, including neurodevelopmental and inflammatory disorders, cancer, and alcohol use disorder (AUD); however, the cell-type-specific role of KDM5B in microglial reactivity has not been investigated. In this study, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses were used to characterize the effects of KDM5B depletion on microglial pathways in clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-edited adult-derived murine microglial cells. Additionally, various immunomodulatory stimuli, including lipopolysaccharide (LPS), interleukin-4, and alcohol, were used to study the effects of KDM5B depletion on immune reactivity in microglia using deep proteomics and bioinformatic analysis. Through this comprehensive characterization, KDM5B-depleted microglia exhibited broad remodeling of immune reactivity, including reduced intracellular and secreted inflammatory responses to lipopolysaccharide as well as distinct modulation of alcohol- and interleukin-4-induced pathways, that was functionally demonstrated by altered cytokine secretion profiles. Results from this study provide critical insight into KDM5B-mediated immunological effects on microglial function.
