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

As a chronic inflammatory disease, atherosclerosis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in most countries. Inflammation is responsible for plaque instability and the subsequent onset of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which is one of the leading causes of hospitalization. Therefore, exploring the potential mechanism underlying ACS is of considerable concern, and searching for alternative therapeutic targets is very urgent. Interleukin-37 (IL-37) inhibits the production of proinflammatory chemokines and cytokines and acts as a natural inhibitor of innate and adaptive immunity. Interestingly, our previous study with murine models showed that IL-37 alleviated cardiac remodeling and myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Of note, our clinical study revealed that IL-37 is elevated and plays a beneficial role in patients with ACS. Moreover, dendritic cells (DCs) orchestrate both immunity and tolerance, and tolerogenic DCs (tDCs) are characterized by more secretion of immunosuppressive cytokines. As expected, IL-37-treated DCs are tolerogenic. Hence, we speculate that IL-37- or IL-37-treated DCs is a novel therapeutic possibility for ACS, and the precise mechanism of IL-37 requires further study.
