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

Interleukin (IL)-17A is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that markedly enhances inflammatory responses in the lungs by recruiting neutrophils and interacting with other pro-inflammatory mediators. Reducing the expression of IL-17A could attenuate inflammation in the lungs. However, whether VIP exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by regulating the expression of IL-17A has remained unclear. Here, we show that there is a remarkable increase of IL-17A in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung tissue of mice with acute lung injury (ALI). Moreover, lipopolysaccharides (LPS) stimulated elevated expression of IL-17A, which was evident by the enhanced levels of mRNA and protein observed. Furthermore, we also found that VIP inhibited LPS-mediated IL-17A expression in a time- and dose-dependent manner in an in vitro model of ALI and that this process might be mediated via the phosphokinase A (PKA) and phosphokinase C (PKC) pathways. Taken together, our results demonstrated that VIP might be an effective protector during ALI by suppressing IL-17A expression.
