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

objectivesFragile X syndrome is the main monogenetic cause of intellectual disability and autism. Alterations in the immune system are commonly found in these developmental disorders. We and others have demonstrated that Fmr1 mutant mice present an altered response to immune stimuli. However, whether this altered immune response can influence the Fmr1 mutant behavioral outcomes in response to inflammation has not been fully investigated. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn the current study, we examine the behavioral sickness response of male wildtype and knockout  mice to the innate immune stimulus lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (0.1 mg/kg) to determine if Fmr1 mutants have altered sickness behavior. We used an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure changes in the cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) to determine that inflammation was induced in the mice. Sickness behavior was assessed in a wheel-running paradigm, and a tail suspension test was used to assess the depressive-like phenotype that follows sickness behavior in response to LPS.

resultsThe ELISA using blood serum confirmed a significant increase in IL-6 in mice that were treated with LPS. Treated Fmr1 mutants exhibited decreased distance traveled in the wheel running after LPS administration, similar to treated controls. Another cohort of animals treated with LPS were tested in the tail suspension test and exhibited no alterations in immobility time in response to LPS.

conclusionTogether, our data suggest that Fmr1 mutant mice do not have altered sickness behavior in response to a low dose of LPS.
