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

Chronic human immunodeficiency virus and simian immunodeficiency virus (HIV and SIV) infections are characterized by mucosal inflammation in the presence of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as transforming growth factor β (TGFβ). The mechanisms for refractiveness to TGFβ are not clear. Here we show that the expression of microRNA miR-155 was significantly upregulated in the oropharyngeal mucosa during chronic SIV infection and was coincident with downregulation of TGFβ receptor 2 (TGFβ-R2) and SMAD5, key TGFβ signaling genes that harbor putative target sites for miR-155. Ectopic expression of miR-155 in vitro was found to significantly downregulate TGFβ-R2 and Smad5 expression, suggesting a role for miR-155 in the suppression of TGFβ-R2 and SMAD5 genes in vivo. The downregulation of TGFβ signaling genes by miR-155 likely contributes to the nonresponsiveness to TGFβ during SIV infection and may inadvertently aid in increased immune activation during HIV and SIV infections.
