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

unlabelledCoxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is a major cause of acute and chronic forms of myocarditis. Previously, direct viral injury and post-infectious autoimmune response were suspected as main pathogenetic mechanisms. However, induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines may be crucial for pathogenesis in spite of host protein shut off caused by CVB3 replication. We investigated the global expression profile of pro-inflammatory genes induced by acute and persistent (carrier state) CVB3 infection in human fibroblast cell cultures with DNA microarrays, quantitative RT-PCR and ELISA. Rapid induction of a typical spectrum of about 30 inflammation-related genes (e.g., PTGS2, CCL2, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, CSF2, MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-15) suggested an essential, autocrine role of IL-1. This hypothesis was confirmed by over-expression of IL-1RI, which resulted in a cytokine response upon CVB3 infection in HEK 293 cells otherwise refractory to CVB3-caused gene expression. Blocking IL-1 receptor type I (IL-1RI)-signaling during CVB3 infection with an IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) as well as knockdown of IL-1RI using siRNA abrogated cytokine response in human fibroblasts. Both IL-1α and IL-1β are relevant for the induction of inflammation-related genes during CVB3 infection as shown by neutralization experiments. Paracrine effects of IL-1 on the subset of non-infected cells in carrier state infected fibroblast cultures enhanced induction of inflammation-related genes.

conclusionsA broad spectrum of inflammatory cytokines was induced by CVB3 replication via a pathway that requires IL-1 signaling. Our results suggest that IL-1ra may be used as a therapeutic agent to limit inflammation and tissue destruction in myocarditis.
