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

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is a cytokine that is responsible, in part, for several aspects of the acute-phase response to inflammation, including the generation of fever. TNF-alpha has direct effects on central nervous system neurons deep within the hypothalamus that are involved in producing the febrile response, but the blood-brain barrier prevents circulating TNF-alpha from having access to these sites. We therefore have hypothesized that TNF-alpha may be produced in the brain and used as a mediator in the cerebral components of the acute-phase response. We used in situ hybridization to determine the distribution of production of TNF-alpha mRNA in the mouse brain after systemic administration of lipopolysaccharide. During the initial phase of fever, hybridization was observed in perivascular cells and neurons in circumventricular organs, including the vascular organ of the lamina terminalis, median eminence, and area postrema, as well as along the ventral surface of the medulla; hybridization was also prominent over many cell in the meninges. During the late phase of the response, hybridization was observed over neurons in the pericircumventricular nuclei such as the anteroventral periventricular and arcuate nuclei of the hypothalamus and the nucleus of the solitary tract. TNF-alpha produced by a cascade of neurons within the brain may participate in the complex autonomic, neuroendocrine, metabolic, and behavioral responses to infection and inflammation.
