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

Appropriate innate immune responses are required to protect an organism against foreign pathogens, and the immune response must be tightly controlled. Here, we report a new microRNA (miRNA) identified from a small RNA library from the epididymis, termed miR-7578, that acts as a negative regulator of inflammatory responses. It was abundantly expressed in immune-related organs and induced by lipopolysaccharide in the lung and epididymis, as well as macrophages stimulated with diverse Toll-like receptor ligands, in an NF-κB-dependent manner. mmu-miR-7578 inhibited the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNFα and IL6, by regulating its target gene Egr1, which encodes a transcription factor that activates TNFα and NF-κB expression. Transgenic mice overexpressing mmu-miR-7578 displayed higher resistance to endotoxin shock and lower plasma levels of TNFα and IL6, indicating that this miRNA acted as a negative molecule of immune response. In sum, we report a previously uncharacterized LPS-responsive miRNA that controls inflammatory response in a feedback loop by fine-tuning a key transcription factor in vivo.
