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

IL-10 produced by B cells is important for controlling inflammation, thus underscoring the need to identify mechanisms regulating its production. In this study, we demonstrate that conditional deletion of ezrin in B cells increases IL-10 production induced by TLR4 ligation. The MyD88-independent Toll/IL-1R domain-containing adapter inducing IFN-β-IFN regulatory factor 3 pathway is required for Ezrin-deficient B cells to produce higher IL-10 upon LPS stimulation. Treatment of B cells with a novel small-molecule inhibitor of ezrin induces its dephosphorylation and increases LPS-induced NF-κB and IFN regulatory factor 3 activation and IL-10 secretion, indicating a role for threonine 567 phosphorylation of ezrin in limiting IL-10. Loss of ezrin in B cells results in dampened proinflammatory response to a sublethal dose of LPS in vivo, which is dependent on increased IL-10 production. Taken together, our data yield new insights into molecular and membrane-cytoskeletal regulation of B cell IL-10 production and reveal ezrin as a potential therapeutic target in inflammatory diseases.
