Beta-chemokines MCP-1 and RANTES are selectively increased in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with human immunodeficiency virus-associated dementia

Topic: Brain proteins, microglia and lab models
Human immunodeficiency virus-associated dementia (HAD) is associated with increased numbers of activated central nervous system (CNS) macrophages. Chemokines, which regulate infiltration of macrophages, were measured in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative and HIV-positive individuals with and without neurological disease. Monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 and RANTES (but not MCP-3), macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha, MIP-1beta, or interleukin-8 (IL-8) was higher in HAD. MCP-1 correlated with CSF viral load and severity of dementia, and it increased over time in patients who developed dementia.

How this study scored 40/100
Published in a leading specialty journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multi-centre collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 23 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 40 out of 100.
