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

TNF is a central actor during inflammation and a well-recognized drug target for inflammatory diseases. We found that the mouse strain SPRET/Ei, known for extreme and dominant resistance against TNF-induced shock, displays weak expression of TNF receptor 1 protein (TNFR1) but normal mRNA expression, a trait genetically linked to the major TNFR1 coding gene Tnfrsf1a and to a locus harbouring the predicted TNFR1-regulating miR-511. This miRNA is a genuine TNFR1 regulator in cells. In mice, overexpression of miR-511 down-regulates TNFR1 and protects against TNF, while anti-miR-511 up-regulates TNFR1 and sensitizes for TNF, breaking the resistance of SPRET/Ei. We found that miR-511 inhibits endotoxemia and experimental hepatitis and that this miR is strongly induced by glucocorticoids and is a true TNFR1 modulator and thus an anti-inflammatory miR. Since minimal reductions of TNFR1 have considerable effects on TNF sensitivity, we believe that at least part of the anti-inflammatory effects of glucocorti-coids are mediated by induction of this miR, resulting in reduced TNFR1 expression.
