Retinol suppresses the activation of Toll-like receptors in MyD88- and STAT1-independent manners.
Article in Inflammation, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Dysregulation of Toll-like receptor (TLR) activation is well known to be linked to development and aggravation of inflammatory diseases and immune disorders. Retinol is reported to participate in regulation of immune responses. However, it has not been fully understood how retinol regulates TLR activation in macrophages. Our results showed that retinol suppressed the expression of various inflammatory cytokines in bone marrow-derived macrophages stimulated with ligands of TLR2, TLR3, or TLR4. These demonstrate that inhibitory effect of retinol is not limited to a single TLR. Inhibitory effect of retinol on lipopolysaccharide-induced target gene expression was still observed in myeloid differentiation primary-response protein 88 (MyD88)- or signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1)-deficient macrophages, indicating that MyD88 and STAT1 are dispensable for retinol-mediated blockade of TLRs. Together, the results demonstrate that retinol suppresses the activation of TLRs in macrophages resulting in downregulation of inflammatory gene expression and further suggest that beneficial effect of retinol is mediated through regulation of TLR-mediated inflammatory responses.
