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

The Krüppel-like factor (KLF) family of zinc finger transcription factors regulate the expression of genes involved in a wide range of cellular processes, including cell proliferation and differentiation. In haematopoiesis, KLFs have essential roles in myeloid cell differentiation and function. KLF4 is a critical regulator of macrophage development and initiates pro- and anti-inflammatory signalling pathways in response to various stimuli. KLF2, KLF3 and KLF6 also play important roles in regulating these pathways. Here we review how KLFs cooperate and compete to either activate or repress target genes to influence initiation and resolution of inflammatory responses in macrophages. We also discuss how KLFs may be involved in the development of chronic inflammatory conditions.
