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

The bidirectional communication between the immune and nervous system is important in regulating immune responses. Here we show that the adrenergic nerves of sympathetic nervous system orchestrate inflammation resolution and regenerative programs by modulating repulsive guidance molecule A (RGM-A). In murine peritonitis, adrenergic nerves and RGM-A show bidirectional activation by stimulating the mutual expression and exhibit a higher potency for the cessation of neutrophil infiltration; this reduction is accompanied by increased pro-resolving monocyte or macrophage recruitment, polymorphonucleocyte clearance and specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators production at sites of injury. Chemical sympathectomy results in hyperinflammation and ineffective resolution in mice, while RGM-A treatments reverse these phenotypes. Signalling network analyses imply that RGM-A and β2AR agonist regulate monocyte activation by suppressing NF-κB activity but activating RICTOR and PI3K/AKT signalling. Our results thus illustrate the function of sympathetic nervous system and RGM-A in regulating resolution and tissue repair in a murine acute peritonitis model.
