The retina-specific basigin isoform does not induce IL-6 expression in mouse monocytes.

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.
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: Basigin gene products are positioned on adjacent cell types in the neural retina and are thought to compose a lactate metabolon important for photoreceptor cell function. The Ig0 domain of basigin isoform 1 (basigin-1) is highly conserved throughout evolution, which suggests a conserved function. It has been suggested that the Ig0 domain has proinflammatory properties, and it is hypothesized to interact with basigin isoform 2 (basigin-2) for cell adhesion and lactate metabolon formation. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to determine whether the Ig0 domain of basigin-1 binds to basigin-2 and whether the region of the domain used for binding is also used to stimulate interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression. Methods: Binding was assessed using recombinant proteins corresponding to the Ig0 domain of basigin-1 and endogenously expressed basigin-2 from mouse neural retina and brain protein lysates. The proinflammatory properties of the Ig0 domain were analyzed with exposure of the recombinant proteins to the mouse monocyte RAW 264.7 cell line and subsequent measurement of the IL-6 concentration in the culture medium via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: The data indicate that the Ig0 domain interacts with basigin-2 through a region within the amino half of the domain and that the Ig0 domain does not stimulate the expression of IL-6 in mouse cells in vitro. Conclusions: The Ig0 domain of basigin-1 binds to basigin-2 in vitro. In addition, contrary to previous reports, there was no evidence that the Ig0 domain potentiates IL-6 expression in a mouse monocyte cell line in vitro. However, it is possible that the Ig0 domain stimulates the expression of proinflammatory cytokines other than IL-6, or that the potential involvement of the Ig0 domain of basigin-1 in the acute inflammatory response is dependent on species.
