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

Growth differentiation factor-11 (GDF11) is a key member of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) superfamily, which plays a momentous role in both normal physiological processes and pathophysiology processes. Recently, it was reported that GDF11 was closely associated with several inflammatory conditions and protected against development of inflammation. Psoriasis-like skin inflammation is a common skin inflammatory disease, yet much is unknown about the underlying mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the expression pattern of GDF11 in two psoriasis-like skin inflammation mice models and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced RAW264.7 macrophages. Furthermore, RAW264.7 cell was cultured, and GDF11 antagonized the inflammatory function of TNF-α in vitro. Moreover, imiquimod-induced mice model and IL-23-induced mice model were established to investigate the anti-inflammatory role of GDF11 in vivo. As a result, the administration of GDF11 remarkably attenuated the severity of skin inflammation in both two mice models. Additionally, the activation of nuclear NF-κB (nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) signaling pathway was repressed by GDF11 treatment. Collectively, GDF11 may represent a promising molecular target for the prevention and treatment of psoriasis-like skin inflammation.
