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 adoptive transfer of activated CD4+ alpha/beta T cell blasts from the spleens of immunocompetent C.B-17+/+ or BALB/cdm2 mice into C.B-17scid/scid (scid) mice induces a colitis in the scid recipient within 8 weeks, which progresses to severe disease within 16 weeks. T cells isolated from recipient colon show a Th1 cytokine phenotype. We have examined the relationship between the phenotype of the cellular infiltrate and the transcription and translation of the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha. The techniques of double indirect immunohistology and in situ hybridization using digoxigenin-labelled riboprobes were used. The prominent myeloid cell infiltrate in diseased tissues comprised F4/80+, Mac-l+ macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells and activated macrophages. TNF-alpha transcription and translation were associated with activated macrophages in the lamina propria. Activated macrophages transcribing and translating TNF-alpha were clustered in areas of tissue destruction. Crypt epithelium of inflamed tissues transcribed TNF-alpha at a very early stage of the disease process, but translation of TNF-alpha protein could only be found in advanced epithelial dysplasia. This indicates differential post-transcriptional control of TNF-alpha in activated macrophages and the epithelium.
