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

Compared with mammals, the functionality of chicken cytokines is not well understood because of the unavailability of immune reagents. Mammalian interleukin (IL)-13 is an important Th2 type cytokine with well-known biological functions through its 2 receptors, IL-13 receptor (IL-13R)-α1 and IL-13Rα2. In the present study, we developed mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against chIL-13 and further investigated their specificity in detecting endogenously produced chIL-13. Upon characterization of mAb using indirect ELISA and Western blot, the capture ELISA was developed for detecting chIL-13. Neutralizing effects were tested by measuring nitric oxide (NO) production and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in primary chicken monocytes stimulated with chIL-13, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), chIL-13+LPS, or chIL-13+LPS+mAb. In addition, gene expression of chIL-13Rα1, chIL-13Rα2, and TGF-β1 was tested in chicken monocytes treated with chIL-13 or chIL-13+mAb. Based on indirect ELISA, 5 mAb that detected recombinant chIL-13 were identified, and all of them specifically detected recombinant chIL-13 protein by Western blotting. An optimal signal was obtained with 2 mAb (#9B11 and #10A2) in a pairing assay, and these 2 mAb were used in a capture assay. A neutralization assay further revealed that chIL-13 reduced LPS-stimulated NO production and iNOS expression in monocytes and macrophage cells, and the 2 mAb (#9B11 and #10A2) abrogated these effects. In addition, chIL-13-induced expressions of chIL-13Rα2 and TGF-β1 were neutralized by the 2 mAb. In summary, the present study showed that chIL-13 may be involved in the alternative activation of primary monocytes in chickens and that chIL-13 signaling may be regulated through chIL-13Rα2 binding and TGF-β1 secretion. Importantly, the newly developed anti-chIL-13 mAb will serve as valuable immune reagents for future studies on the biological activity of chIL-13 and its receptors.
