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

A growing body of evidence suggests that T lymphocytes play an important role in initiating and maintaining the inflammatory process characteristic of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27-associated spondyloarthropathies. T cells seem to be involved in the primary defense reaction against arthritis-triggering gram-negative bacteria at the site of extra-articular infection, in determining the systemic cytokine pattern, in the recirculation process between gut mucosa and the joint, and in mediating secondary autoimmune joint inflammation. The factors involved in disease chronicity (namely in ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis) are still unknown. Autoreactive T cells may contribute to this process by recognition of cross-reactive self-epitopes (ie, molecular mimicry between bacterial and self-antigens). Autoreactive T cells may as well be inappropriately upregulated by bacterial superantigens, or by local inflammatory reactions leading to the uncovering of former cryptic self-epitopes. In this paper, we review recent studies on peripheral blood and synovial T cells in patients with reactive arthritis, enteropathic spondyloarthropathy, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
