The IL-17A-neutrophil axis promotes epithelial cell IL-33 production during nematode lung migration.

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
The early migratory phase of pulmonary helminth infections is characterized by tissue injury leading to the release of the alarmin interleukin (IL)-33 and subsequent induction of type 2 immune responses. We recently described a role for IL-17A, through suppression of interferon (IFN)-γ, as an important inducer of type 2 responses during infection with the lung-migrating rodent nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. Here, we aimed to investigate the interaction between IL-17A and IL-33 during the early lung migratory stages of N. brasiliensis infection. In this brief report, we demonstrate that deficiency of IL-17A leads to impaired IL-33 expression and secretion early in infection, independent of IL-17A suppression of IFN-γ. Neutrophil-depletion experiments, which dramatically reduce lung injury, revealed that neutrophils are primarily responsible for the IL-17A-dependent release of IL-33 into the airways. Taken together, our results reveal an IL-17A-neutrophil-axis that can drive IL-33 during helminth infection, highlighting an additional pathway by which IL-17A regulates pulmonary type 2 immunity.
