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 interleukin-6 (IL-6) family of cytokines includes IL-6, IL-11, IL-27, IL-31, etc. These cytokines are intimately linked with inflammatory diseases and exhibit pleiotropic properties. Several factors, including air pollution, smoking, and an aging population, are contributing to the changing epidemiology of respiratory diseases. A high incidence of respiratory disease represents a significant burden on society and the economy. The prominent role of IL-6 family members in respiratory diseases has been extensively studied, and they influence the disease process through multiple mechanisms and has significant clinical relevance in respiratory diseases. Here, we describe the role of IL-6 family cytokines and their signaling pathways on various immune cells, as well as the research progress on IL-6 family cytokines in respiratory diseases in recent years. The aim of this review is to provide an in-depth analysis of the key role of the IL-6 family in respiratory diseases and to provide a solid theoretical basis for further research and clinical practice in this field.
