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

Meniere's disease (MD) is a chronic disease that causes episodic vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, and aural fullness, initially managed by dietary salt reduction, and use of diuretics. Our prior research in autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) demonstrated that in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) from corticosteroid-resistant AIED patients, increased production, processing and release of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is observed and hearing could be improved with use of anakinra, an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist. We have further identified that in these AIED patients, IL-1β is uniquely processed to a 28 kDa pro-inflammatory product by caspase-7. In the present study, we characterize the production, processing and release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6 from PBMC of MD (n = 14) patients in response to sodium chloride (NaCl), and determined the effect of the diuretic triamterene-hydrocholothiazide (T-HCTZ), or anakinra in these patients. We observed that PBMC cultured with NaCl from MD patients show processing of IL-1β to the 28 kDa product, and that this product is abrogated with T-HCTZ. Our observations are consistent with other autoimmune diseases where high concentrations of NaCl caused release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and may provide further insight as to the mechanism of disease progression in MD patients.
