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

backgroundOverexpression of interleukin-10 (IL-10) in murine CD11b(+) monocytes/macrophages via GMP-adapted mRNA-nucleofection was expected to improve clinical outcome and reduce adverse side effects in autoimmune myocarditis. This study represents the proof of principle for a novel anti-inflammatory therapy using overexpression of IL-10 in murine monocytes/macrophages by mRNA-nucleofection for the treatment of autoimmune myocarditis. METHODS AND

resultsAutoimmune myocarditis was induced in A/J mice by subcutaneous immunization with troponin I. CD11b(+) monocytes/macrophages were isolated from the peritoneum and IL-10 was overexpressed by mRNA-nucleofection. These cells were injected intravenously. Myocardial inflammation was assessed via histological and immunohistochemical examinations. Myocardial fibrosis was analyzed with Masson's trichrome staining. Antitroponin I antibodies were determined within the serum. Physical performance was evaluated using a running wheel and echocardiography. In vitro overexpression of IL-10 in CD11b(+) monocytes/macrophages resulted in a 7-fold increased production of IL-10 (n=3). In vivo higher levels of IL-10 and less inflammation were detected within the myocardium of treated compared with control mice (n=4). IL-10-treated mice showed lower antitroponin I antibodies (n=10) and a better physical performance (n=10).

conclusionsApplication of IL-10-overexpressing CD11b(+) monocytes/macrophages reduced inflammation and improved physical performance in a murine model of autoimmune myocarditis. Thus, the use of genetically modified monocytes/macrophages facilitated a targeted therapy of local inflammation and may reduce systemic side effects. Because the nucleofection technique is GMP adapted, an in vivo use in humans seems basically feasible and the transfer to other inflammatory diseases seems likely.
