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

Inflammasome-mediated production of mature IL-1β and IL-18 cytokines represents an important innate immune response against infecting pathogens. Helicobacter pylori, one of the most successful and persistent human pathogens, induces severe inflammation leading to gastritis and more serious gastric diseases. H. pylori modulates different immune responses for its survival and inflammasome signaling is manipulated by the cag pathogenicity island ( cagPAI), urease and VacA cytotoxin. Here we report that H. pylori regulates NLRP3 expression, an inflammasome forming regulator, in infected THP-1 monocytes. This response was independent of the major H. pylori pathogenicity-associated factors CagA, VacA, Cgt, FlaA and cagPAI. Two NLRP3 expression controlling factors, the NLRP3 mRNA targeting microRNA hsa-miR-223-3p and cytokine IL-10, were found to work in tandem for its regulation. H. pylori infection also induced copious amount of pro-IL-1β in THP-1 monocytes/macrophages but secreted a very low amount of mature IL-1β. Moreover, secreted IL-10 correlated with the down-regulation of nigericin-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation of LPS-primed THP-1 monocytes and human PBMCs from volunteers. However, H. pylori-treated PBMCs secreted significantly more mature IL-1β throughout the infection period, which suggests a different mode of activation. Taken together, this study demonstrates targeting of inflammasome-forming NLRP3, an important innate immunity component, and crucial manipulation of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in H. pylori infection.
