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 increased risk of thromboembolism and higher incidence of cardiovascular disorders are among the most common causes of morbidity in patients suffering from autoimmune diseases. In this study we tested the hypothesis that IL-17A, a key pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in the development of autoimmune diseases, exerts pro-aggregant effects on both human and mouse platelets. Human or murine platelets were incubated with IL-17A for 2 min at 37°C prior the addition of the stimuli. Aggregation was monitored in a light transmission aggregometer measuring changes in turbidity with continuous observation over a 5-min interval after the addition of the stimuli. IL-17RA, CD42b and CD62P expression as well as fibrinogen bindings were measured by FACS while Erk-2 phosphorylation was analyzed by western blot using phospho-specific antibodies. Pre-incubation with IL-17A increased ADP-, but not collagen-induced platelet aggregation and accelerated CD62P expression and exposure of fibrinogen binding sites. These effects were associated with a faster kinetic of ADP-induced Erk-2 phosphorylation and were lost in platelets deficient in the IL-17 receptor. Together these results unveil a novel aspect of the inflammatory nature of IL-17A suggesting, at the same time, that therapeutic strategies targeting this cytokine might provide further benefit for the treatment of autoimmune diseases by reducing the risk of cardiovascular-related pathologies.
