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

Recently, the Th17 cells and IL-17 have been shown to play a critical role in the immune-mediated liver injury in hepatitis B, while their functions in acute liver failure have not been well elucidated yet. In this study, we primarily investigated the role of IL-17 in the development of mouse hepatitis virus strain 3 (MHV-3)-induced acute liver failure. IL-17 mRNA levels in liver tissue were quantified by using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and cytokine IL-17 levels in liver tissue and serum were determined by using ELISA in MHV-3-induced murine fulminant hepatitis model. The IL-17 expression levels on CD4(+)T and CD8(+)T cells were determined by using flow cytometry. The correlation between IL-17 level and liver injury was studied. Th17 associated cytokines were also investigated by intracellular staining. Our results showed that the IL-17 expression was significantly elevated in the liver and serum of BALB/cJ mice infected with MHV-3. Moreover, a time course study showed that the percentage of both IL-17-producing CD4(+)T cells and IL-17-producing CD8(+)T cells was increased remarkably in the liver starting from 48 h and peaked at 72 h post-infection. There was a close correlation between hepatic or serum IL-17 concentration and the severity of liver injury defined by ALT level, respectively. Th17 associated cytokines, IL-6, IL-21 and IL-22, were also increased significantly at 72 h post-infection. It was concluded that IL-17 may contribute to the pathogenesis of MHV-3-induced acute liver failure.
