Review in Heart failure reviews, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Our understanding of the multiple in vivo functions of the proinflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor (TNFalpha), is advancing at a rapid pace. In addition to its antitumor effects, overproduction of TNFalpha provokes tissue injury and organ failure. TNFalpha has also been shown to be cardiodepressant and responsible for various cardiovascular complications. It appears that still much needs to be learned for a full comprehension of the role of TNFalpha in heart biology. Another cytokine, interleukin-10 (IL-10), has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. It is suggested to counterbalance many adverse effects of TNFalpha. IL-10 suppresses the production of TNFalpha and many other proinflammatory cytokines. TNFalpha-induced oxidative stress is also known to be mitigated by IL-10. Moreover, improvement in cardiac function after treatment with various drugs is also shown to be associated with an increase in IL-10 content. Based on the data reviewed in here, it is suggested that an optimal balance between IL-10 and TNFalpha may be a new therapeutic strategy for a healthier heart.
