NF-κB activation in astrocytes impairs wound healing after traumatic brain injury in male mice.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a complex condition in which multiple pathophysiological mechanisms influence the course of the disease. After the initial mechanical impact, neuroinflammatory reactions of glial cells along with infiltrating peripheral immune cells determine the overall clinical outcome. However, these secondary processes and their molecular determinants promoting either beneficial or detrimental consequences are not well-defined. Here, we show that TBI-mediated NF-κB activation in astrocytes impairs their homeostatic functions, amplifies the post-traumatic neuroimmune response and disturbs the multicellular CNS scar development in a male mouse model of TBI. Our results further demonstrate a specific deficit in the formation of the glial limitans border and establish that paracrine signaling pathways induced by NF-κB-activated astrocytes can prevent a beneficial restoration of the CNS integrity after TBI. These findings enhance our understanding on the NF-κB-mediated post-traumatic pathophysiology and provide information on future targeted therapies to improve TBI outcome.
