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

backgroundsarcopenia is a highly prevalent condition in elderly individuals which is characterized by loss of muscle mass and functions; recent results showed that it is also associated with inflammation. Rehabilitation protocols for sarcopenia are designed to improve physical conditions, but very scarce data are available on their effects on inflammation We verified whether in sarcopenic patients the inflammation is reduced by rehabilitation and investigated the biological correlates of such effect.

methodsTwenty-one sarcopenic patients undergoing a specifically-designed rehabilitation program were enrolled in the study. Physical, cognitive and nutritional parameters, as well as the concentration of C-Reactive Protein (CRP), pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines and cytokine production-modulating miRNAs were measured at the beginning (T

resultsRehabilitation resulted in a significant improvement of physical and cognitive conditions; this was accompanied by a significant reduction of CRP (p = 0.04) as well as of IL-18 (p = 0.008) and IL-37 (p = 0.009) concentration. Notably, the concentration of miR-335-3p (p = 0.007) and miR-657, the two known post-transcriptional regulators of IL-37 production, was increased by the rehabilitation protocol.

conclusionsResults herein confirm that successful rehabilitation for sarcopenia results in a reduction of the inflammatory milieu, raise the possibility that IL-37 may be a key target to monitor the rehabilitation-associated improvement in sarcopenia, and suggest that this cytokine could be a therapeutic target in sarcopenic patients.
