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

backgroundThe impaired barrier function of the airway epithelium due to RNA virus infection is closely related to the development and exacerbation of allergic airway inflammation.

objectiveIn this study, we investigated the roles of microRNAs on the mechanisms of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-induced epithelial barrier dysfunction.

methods16HBE14o- human bronchial epithelial cells were grown to confluence on Transwell inserts and exposed to poly-I:C. We studied epithelial barrier function by measuring transepithelial electrical resistance and paracellular flux of fluorescent markers and structure of tight junctions by immunofluorescence microscopy.

resultsPoly-I:C treated 16HBE14o- cells increased paracellular permeability. Knockdown of Toll-like receptor 3 and TRIF abrogated these effects. The expression of microRNA-155 (miR-155) was increased by poly-I:C in dose-dependent manner. Transfection of mir155 mimics into 16HBE14o- cells increased permeability and inhibited tight junction formation. Transfection of miR-155 inhibitor suppressed poly-I:C-induced barrier disruption. Poly-I:C treatment significantly decreased the expression of claudin members-claudin-1, -3, -4, -5, -9, -11, -16, -18 and -19. Transfection of miR-155 mimics showed similar changing expression pattern of claudin members with those of poly-I:C treatment.

conclusionThese results suggest that RNA virus infection can impair the epithelial barrier disruption mechanism by down-regulation of claudin members through the induction of miR-155.
