Ioversol Induced Microglia Proinflammatory Activation and Oxidative Stress in Rats.
Article in Neurotoxicity research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) following angiography, though not often and reversible, can in some cases lead to permanent neurological dysfunction. To identify how neuroinflammation is involved in CIE, we investigated microglia responses to a bolus injection of ioversol in the internal carotid artery (ICA) in rats. MicroCT scanning indicated that the injected ioversol was cleared from the rat's brain within 25 min. However, proinflammatory activated and significantly increased microglia were found in the rat occipital cortex at 1 day, and the number of blood vessel-associated microglia was still significantly higher at 3-day post-injection, compared with sham- and PBS-treated rats. Moreover, significantly upregulated malondialdehyde (MDA), downregulated superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels, and elevated proinflammatory cytokines were observed in the brain of rats treated with ioversol. Ioversol administration decreased cell viability of primarily cultured microglia and induced significant proinflammatory activation. Furthermore, ioversol remarkably upregulated astrocytic aquaporin (AQP) 4 expression in the rats brain, and transwell cultures showed significantly enhanced microglia migrating to ioversol-treated endothelial cells. Immediate injection of edaravone dexborneol, a novel antioxidative drug, after ioversol injection effectively rescued ioversol-induced neuroinflammation. Together, these findings suggest that ioversol induced neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in the brain via microglia activation in a direct and indirect manner, which might contribute to the pathogenesis of CIE.
