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

Colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R), primarily expressed on microglia in the central nervous system (CNS), is essential for microglial homeostasis and survival. CSF1R dysfunction, due to a monoallelic mutation, causes CSF1R-related leukoencephalopathy (CRL), a primary microgliopathy. CSF1R undergoes proteolytic cleavage to release soluble CSF1R (sCSF1R), which is decreased in the serum of CRL patients. However, the biological function of sCSF1R remains unknown. Here, we found that sCSF1R alleviated cognitive impairment and anxiety-like behavior in Csf1r+/− mice. Importantly, we identified CSF1R as a target binding protein of sCSF1R on microglia. Notably, sCSF1R inhibited the activation and inflammatory factor expression of Csf1r+/− microglia by reducing the phosphorylation of CSF1R (Y723) and NF-κB (S468 and S536). These results demonstrate that sCSF1R exerts neuroprotective effects by binding membrane-bound CSF1R and inhibiting pathological microglial activation by inhibiting the nuclear translocation of NF-κB. These findings identify sCSF1R as a potential therapeutic agent for CRL.
