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 17 (IL-17) is increasingly recognized as a key factor that contributes to the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and its experimental mouse autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model. However, the roles and regulatory mechanisms of IL-17-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine production in EAE mice remain largely unclear. In this study, the expression of IL-17, hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), IL-1β, IL-6 and microRNA-497 (miR-497), as well as their intrinsic associations, was investigated using EAE model mice and cultured astrocytes exposed to IL-17 in vitro. We observed markedly increased production of IL-17, HIF-1α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the brain tissues of EAE mice, while the expression and secretion of HIF-1α, IL-1β and IL-6 were also significantly increased when cultured primary astrocytes from mice were stimulated with IL-17. Meanwhile, the expression of miR-497 was downregulated both in vivo and in vitro. Subsequent in vitro experiments revealed that IL-17 induced the production of IL-1β and IL-6 in astrocytes through the upregulation of HIF-1α as a transcriptional factor, indicating that IL-17-mediated downregulation of miR-497 enhanced HIF-1α expression. Furthermore, astrocyte-specific knockdown of IL-17RA and HIF-1α or astrocyte-specific overexpression of miR-497 by infection with different lentiviral vectors containing an astrocyte-specific promotor markedly decreased IL-1β and IL-6 production in brain tissues and alleviated the pathological changes and score of EAE mice. Collectively, these findings indicate that decreased miR-497 expression is responsible for IL-17-triggered high HIF-1α expression and consequent IL-1β and IL-6 production by astrocytes in EAE mice.Cellular & Molecular Immunology advance online publication, 1 May 2017; doi:10.1038/cmi.2017.12.
