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

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to attenuating immune responses during chronic viral infection; however, the precise mechanisms underlying their suppressive activities remain incompletely understood. We have recently shown marked expansion of MDSCs that promote regulatory T (Treg) cell development in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Here we further investigated whether the HCV-induced expansion of MDSCs and Treg cells is regulated by an miRNA-mediated mechanism. The RNA array analysis revealed that six miRNAs were up-regulated and six miRNAs were down-regulated significantly in myeloid cells during HCV infection. Real-time RT-PCR confirmed the down-regulation of miR-124 in MDSCs from HCV patients. Bioinformatic analysis suggested that miR-124 may be involved in the regulation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT-3), which was overexpressed in MDSCs from HCV patients. Notably, silencing of STAT-3 significantly increased the miR-124 expression, whereas reconstituting miR-124 decreased the levels of STAT-3, as well as interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor-β, which were overexpressed in MDCSs, and reduced the frequencies of Foxp3
