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

Toll-like receptors 3 and 4 utilize adaptor TRIF to activate interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), resulting in IFN-β production to mediate anti-viral and bacterial infection. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ is a ligand-activated transcription factor expressed in various immune cells and acts as a transcriptional repressor to inhibit the transcription of many proinflammatory cytokines. But, the function of PPAR-γ in TLR3- and -4-mediated IFN-β production is not well elucidated. Here, we have analyzed the effect of the PPAR-γ agonists on IFN-β production in peritoneal primary macrophages in response to LPS and poly(I:C). PPAR-γ agonists inhibited LPS and poly(I:C)-induced IFN-β transcription and secretion. siRNA knockdown of PPAR-γ expression and transfection of PPAR-γ expression plasmid demonstrated that PPAR-γ agonist inhibits IFN-β production in a PPAR-γ-dependent manner. The ability of the PPAR-γ agonist to inhibit IFN-β production was confirmed in vivo as mice treated with troglitazone exhibited decreased levels of IFN-β upon LPS and poly(I:C) challenge. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) assay and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) demonstrated that troglitazone treatment impaired IRF3 binding to the IFN-β promoter. Furthermore, troglitazone could inhibit LPS and poly(I:C)-induced STAT1 phosphorylation and subsequent ISRE activation. These results demonstrate that PPAR-γ negatively regulates IFN-β production in TLR3- and 4-stimulated macrophages by preventing IRF3 binding to the IFN-β promoter.
