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

To investigate the anti-inflammatory or pleiotropic immunomodulatory role of interleukin-18 (IL-18), collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice were administrated with IL-18 along or in combination with IL-10, IL-4 or IL-12. IL-18 treatment along had no therapeutic effect on onset or established CIA mice. However, the combined treatment of low-dose IL-18 with IL-10 ameliorated the disease progression. Th1 cytokine expression was significantly inhibited, whereas Th2 cytokine expression was up-regulated in the synovial tissue by the IL-18/IL-10 treatment when compared with that in control group. Interestingly, IL-18 receptor (IL-18R) alpha expression was down-regulated by the treatment. According to the development of Th2 responses, GATA-3 mRNA expression was significantly increased in the treatment group. Our results indicated that combined treatment of low-dose IL-18 with IL-10 can prevent the development of CIA, which may be mediated not only by inhibiting Th1 responses through IL-18/IL-18Ralpha signaling, but also by inducing anti-inflammatory mediators through a GATA-3-dependent mechanism.
