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

Background and objective: Emerging evidence indicates that inflammation regulates cardiac remodeling and heart failure (HF). IL12β is a subunit for proinflammatory cytokines IL12 and IL23. However, the effect of IL12β inhibition on HF development and the underlying mechanism is not understood. Methods: We determined the effect of pharmacological inhibition of IL12β using IL12β blocking antibody on transverse aortic constriction (TAC)-induced left ventricular (LV) inflammation and HF development. Results: IL12β blocking antibody significantly attenuated TAC-induced LV immune cell infiltration, hypertrophy, fibrosis, dysfunction, and the consequent pulmonary inflammation and remodeling. More specifically, we found that IL12β blocking antibody significantly attenuated TAC-induced LV and pulmonary infiltration of neutrophils, macrophages, CD11c Conclusions: These findings indicate that pharmacological inhibition of IL12β effectively protected the heart from systolic overload-induced inflammation, remodeling, and dysfunction by reducing the proinflammatory signaling from both innate and adaptive immune responses.
