Cyclosporine A Induces MicroRNAs Controlling Innate Immunity during Renal Bacterial Infection.
Article in Journal of innate immunity, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) mainly due to uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are one of the most frequent complications in kidney-transplanted patients, causing significant morbidity. However, the mechanisms underlying UTI in renal grafts remain poorly understood. Here, we analysed the effects of the potent immunosuppressive agent cyclosporine A (CsA) on the activation of collecting duct cells that represent a preferential site of adhesion and translocation for UPEC. CsA induced the inhibition of lipopolysaccharide- induced activation of collecting duct cells due to the downregulation of the expression of TLR4 via the microRNA Let-7i. Using an experimental model of ascending UTI, we showed that the pretreatment of mice with CsA prior to infection induced a marked fall in cytokine production by collecting duct cells, neutrophil recruitment, and a dramatic rise of bacterial load, but not in infected TLR4-defective mice kidneys. This effect was also observed in CsA-treated infected kidneys, where the expression of Let-7i was increased. Treatment with a synthetic Let-7i mimic reproduced the effects of CsA. Conversely, pretreatment with an anti-Let-7i antagonised the effects of CsA and rescued the innate immune response of collecting duct cells against UPEC. Thus, the utilisation of an anti-Let-7i during kidney transplantation may protect CsA-treated patients from ascending bacterial infection.
