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

purpose of reviewTo summarize key advances in our understanding of the role of interleukin 17A (IL-17A) in the pathogenesis of hypertension and highlight important areas for future research and clinical translation. RECENT

findingsWhile T helper 17 (Th17) cells are major producers of IL-17A, there are several additional innate and adaptive immune cell sources including gamma-delta T cells, innate lymphoid cells, and natural killer cells. IL-17A promotes an increase in blood pressure through multiple mechanisms including inhibiting endothelial nitric oxide production, increasing reactive oxygen species formation, promoting vascular fibrosis, and enhancing renal sodium retention and glomerular injury. IL-17A production from Th17 cells is increased by high salt conditions in vitro and in vivo. There is also emerging data linking salt, the gut microbiome, and intestinal T cell IL-17A production. Novel therapeutics targeting IL-17A signaling are approved for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and show promise in both animal models of hypertension and human studies. Hypertensive stimuli enhance IL-17A production. IL-17A is a key mediator of renal and vascular dysfunction in hypertensive mouse models and correlates with hypertension in humans. Large randomized clinical trials are needed to determine whether targeting IL-17A might be an effective adjunct treatment for hypertension and its associated end-organ dysfunction.
