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

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are unique in their ability to produce low levels of type 2 cytokines at steady state, and their production capacity is dramatically increased upon stimulation with IL-33. However, it is unknown how constitutive cytokine production is regulated in the steady state. Here, we found that tristetraprolin (TTP/Zfp36), an RNA-binding protein that induces mRNA degradation, was highly expressed in naive ILC2s and was downregulated following IL-33 stimulation. In ILC2s from Zfp36-/- mice, constitutive IL-5 production was elevated owing to the stabilization of its mRNA and resulted in an increased number of eosinophils in the intestine. Luciferase assay demonstrated that TTP directly regulates Il5 mRNA stability, and overexpression of TTP markedly suppressed IL-5 production by ILC2s, even under IL-33 stimulation. Collectively, TTP-mediated posttranscriptional regulation acts as a deterrent of excessive cytokine production in steady-state ILC2s to maintain body homeostasis, and downregulation of TTP may contribute to massive cytokine production under IL-33 stimulation.
