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

Surfactant protein-A (SP-A) and Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) proteins are recognized as pathogen-recognition receptors. An exaggerated activation of TLR4 induces inflammatory response, whereas SP-A protein down-regulates inflammation. We hypothesized that SP-A-TLR4 interaction may lead to inhibition of inflammation. In this study, we investigated interaction between native baboon lung SP-A and baboon and human TLR4-MD2 proteins by coimmunoprecipitation/immunoblotting and microwell-based methods. The interaction between SP-A and TLR4-MD2 proteins was then analyzed using a bioinformatics approach. In the in silico model of SP-A-TLR4-MD2 complex, we identified potential binding regions and amino acids at the interface of SP-A-TLR4. Using this information, we synthesized a library of human SP-A-derived peptides that contained interacting amino acids. Next, we tested whether the TLR4-interacting SP-A peptides would suppress inflammatory cytokines. The peptides were screened for any changes in the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) response against lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimuli in the mouse JAWS II dendritic cell line. Different approaches used in this study suggested binding between SP-A and TLR4-MD2 proteins. In cells pretreated with peptides, three of seven peptides increased TNF-α production against LPS. However, two of these peptides (SPA4: GDFRYSDGTPVNYTNWYRGE and SPA5: YVGLTEGPSPGDFRYSDFTP) decreased the TNF-α production in LPS-challenged JAWS II dendritic cells; SPA4 peptide showed more pronounced inhibitory effect than SPA5 peptide. In conclusion, we identify a human SP-A-derived peptide (SPA4 peptide) that interacts with TLR4-MD2 protein and inhibits the LPS-stimulated release of TNF-α in JAWS II dendritic cells.
