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

The chemokine CXC receptor 4 (CXCR4) is activated by stromal cell-derived factor (SDF-1α). CXCR4 may be part of a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) sensing co-clustering complex that modulates TLR4 activation and evidence suggest that SDF-1α can activate anti-inflammatory signaling pathways and suppress inflammation. In the present study we examined the hypothesis that the SDF-1α peptide analog and CXCR4 agonist CTCE-0214 is anti-inflammatory in three distinct models of murine systemic inflammation. Our findings demonstrate that CTCE-0214 in vivo significantly suppressed plasma tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) increases in acute endotoxemia and following zymosan-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). In both models, CTCE-0214 did not suppress plasma increases in the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-10. CTCE-0214 improved survival without antibiotics in a model of severe sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). CTCE-0214 also decreased plasma increases in IL-6 but not TNF-α and IL-10 in response to CLP-induced inflammation. We demonstrated in a moderately severe model of CLP (one puncture) that IL-6 levels at 24 h were similar to sham controls. However in severe CLP (two punctures) plasma IL-6 levels were markedly elevated. Plasma SDF-1α levels varied inversely with the plasma IL-6. In addition to the beneficial effect of CTCE-0214 in these models of systemic inflammation in vivo, we also demonstrated that the analog dose dependently suppressed LPS-induced IL-6 production in bone marrow-derived macrophages. CTCE-0214 therefore may be beneficial in controlling inflammation sepsis and systemic inflammatory syndromes.
