Review in American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 85 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Pregnancy is a unique and well-choreographed physiological process that involves intricate interplay of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory milieu, hormonal changes, and cellular and molecular events at the maternal-fetal interface. IL-10 is a pregnancy compatible cytokine that plays a vital role in maintaining immune tolerance. A wide array of cell types including both immune and non-immune cells secret IL-10 in an autocrine and paracrine manner. IL-10 binds to a specific receptor complex and activates JAK-STAT and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways while inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway. IL-10 exerts its anti-inflammatory effects mainly by decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6, IL-12, and TNF-α, by inducing heme oxygenase-1, and by inhibiting antigen presentation via blocking major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II expression. Prior studies from our group and others have shown that IL-10 also functions as a potent protector against vascular dysfunction, and enhancement of IL-10 may serve as an immunotherapeutic intervention to treat adverse pregnancy outcomes. This review seeks to critically evaluate the archetypal functions of IL-10 as an immune suppressive factor as well as its novel functions as a vascular protector and modulator of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and autophagy in the context of normal and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
