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

Inflammatory memory enables cells to remember prior inflammatory signals, shaping their responses to subsequent challenges. While this phenomenon has been extensively characterized in immune cells and various tissues, recent reports suggest that both immune and nonimmune cells in the central nervous system (CNS) also exhibit inflammatory memory. In this Perspective, we synthesize emerging evidence of inflammatory memory in the CNS and discuss its underlying mechanisms. We highlight how epigenomic reprogramming through histone and DNA modifications, the recruitment of epigenetic regulators and nucleosome remodeling drive changes in gene expression kinetics central to inflammatory memory. We also examine mechanisms that maintain or reset inflammatory memory. By identifying shared principles and CNS-specific features, we propose conceptual frameworks to advance our understanding of CNS inflammatory memory and its implications for health and disease.
