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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in various biological processes, including cell proliferation, development and host defence. However, the molecular mechanism for miRNAs in regulating bacterial-induced inflammation remains largely unclear. Here, we report that miR-301b augments pro-inflammatory response during pulmonary infection, and caffeine suppresses the effect of miR-301b and thereby augments respiratory immunity. LPS treatment or Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection induces miR-301b expression via a TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway. Importantly, caffeine decreases miR-301b expression through negative regulation of the cAMP/PKA/NF-κB axis. Further, c-Myb is identified as a target of miR-301b, which positively modulates anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and TGF-β1, but negatively regulates pro-inflammatory cytokines MIP-1α and IL-17A. Moreover, repression of miR-301b results in increased transcription of c-Myb and elevated levels of neutrophil infiltration, thereby alleviating infectious symptoms in mice. These findings reveal miR-301b as a new controller of inflammatory response by repressing c-Myb function to inhibit the anti-inflammatory response to bacterial infection, representing a novel mechanism for balancing inflammation.
