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

The cytokine interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) contributes to ischemic, excitotoxic, and traumatic brain injury. IL-1beta actions depend on interaction with a single receptor (IL-1RI), which associates with an accessory protein (IL-1RAcP), and is blocked by IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra). Here we show that in normal mice [wild-type (WT)], intracerebroventricular injection of IL-1ra markedly reduces (-50%; p < 0.01) ischemic brain damage caused by reversible occlusion of the middle cerebral artery, whereas injection of IL-1beta exacerbates damage (+45%; p < 0.05). Mice lacking IL-1RI [IL-1RI knock-out (KO)] exhibited ischemic brain damage that is almost identical to that of the WT (infarct volume 43.7 +/- 6.1 and 46.2 +/- 6.2 mm3, respectively), but failed to respond to injection of IL-1ra. However, injection of IL-1beta (intracerebroventricularly) exacerbated ischemic brain damage in IL-1RI KO (+61%; p < 0.001) and in WT mice (+45%). This effect of IL-1beta was abolished by heat denaturation in all animals, and was reversed by IL-1ra in WT, but not IL-1RI KO mice. In contrast, IL-1RI KO mice were completely resistant to effects of IL-1beta on food intake or body weight. IL-1RAcP mRNA was increased by stroke in WT, but reduced in IL-1RI KO mice compared with sham-operated mice. Type II IL-1 receptor mRNA was significantly increased 4 hr after ischemia in WT and IL-1RI KO (+20%) animals. These data show that IL-1beta can exacerbate ischemic brain damage independently of IL-1RI and suggest the existence of additional signaling receptor or receptors for IL-1 in the brain.
