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

Interferon regulatory factor (IRF) family members, especially interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) and interferon regulatory factor-8 (IRF-8 or ICSBP), play important roles in interferon signaling in a wide range of host responses to infection and tumor growth. Interleukin-27 (IL-27), as a member of the IL-12 cytokine family, not only acts as a proinflammatory cytokine that regulates the differentiation of naive T helper cells but also possesses anti-inflammatory properties. IL-27 consists of EBI3 (Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 3) and p28 subunits. Our previous work has shown that IRF-1 regulates IL-27 p28 gene transcription by specifically binding to the IRF-1 response element in the p28 promoter. In this study, we found that IRF-8-deficient macrophages were highly defective in the production of IL-27 p28 at both mRNA and protein levels. Circulating IL-27 p28 in serum was also decreased in IRF-8(-/-) mice in a septic shock model. Lipopolysaccharide, as a potent inducer of IL-27 p28 expression, could activate IRF-8 expression in a MyD88-dependent pathway, which in turn induced p28 gene transcription through NF-kappaB and/or IRF-8. Transcriptional analyses revealed that IRF-8 activated p28 gene transcription through binding to a site located at -57 to -48 in the p28 promoter overlapping the IRF-1 binding site. Consistent with this observation, overexpression of both IRF-8 and IRF-1 additively activated IL-27 p28 promoter. This study provides further mechanistic information regarding how signals initiated during innate and adaptive immune responses synergize to yield greater IL-27 production and sustained cellular immunity.
