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

Spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers severe neuroinflammation, impeding recovery. While microglial M1 polarization and pyroptosis are key drivers, their upstream regulators are incompletely understood. This study investigated the role of the ubiquitin ligase tripartite motif-containing protein 14 (TRIM14) in regulating neuroinflammation following SCI. Using rat SCI models and BV2 microglia exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), we assessed TRIM14 expression and its functional impact via knockdown and overexpression, alongside pharmacological neurofilament (NF)-κB inhibition (pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate [PDTC]). TRIM14 was upregulated in injured spinal cords and microglia, associated with injury severity. TRIM14 knockdown in microglia stabilized IκBα by inhibiting its ubiquitination, thereby suppressing NF-κB activation, M1 polarization, and NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis. Conversely, TRIM14 overexpression exacerbated inflammation, effects markedly reversed by PDTC. In SCI rats, intralesional AAV-CRISPR/CasRx-mediated TRIM14 silencing significantly attenuated neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis, enhanced axonal regeneration, and improved locomotor function. Mechanistically, TRIM14 knockdown suppressed NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling, promoting a prorepair microenvironment. These results identify TRIM14 as a critical regulator of microglial activation and pyroptosis post-SCI, suggesting its therapeutic targeting could be a viable strategy to promote neural repair.
