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

Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a clinical consequence of the profound amplification of host pro-inflammatory cytokine signaling that results from staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) exposure. We recently reported that MyD88(-/-) mice were resistant to SEA or SEB toxic shock and displayed reduced levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in their serum. Here we report that SEB stimulation of total mononuclear cells up-regulated MyD88 in monocytes and T cells. Further, MyD88 gene silencing in primary human cells using siRNA prevented SEB or SEB plus lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induction of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) transcriptional activation, suggesting that MyD88-mediated signaling is an essential component of SEB toxicity. We synthesized small molecules that mimic the conserved BB-loop in the Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) domain of MyD88. In primary human cells, these mimetics attenuated SEB-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine production. SEB stimulation of primary cells with mimetic affected newly synthesized MyD88 and downstream signaling components. Furthermore, LPS-induced MyD88 signaling was likewise inhibited in a cell-based reporter assay. More importantly, administration of mimetic reduced cytokine responses and increased survivability in a murine SEB challenge model. Collectively, these results suggest that MyD88 BB-loop mimetics interfere with SEB-induced pro-inflammatory signaling and toxicity, thus offering a potential approach in the therapy of toxic shock.
