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 peptide based on complementarity-determining region (CDR)-1 of a monoclonal murine anti-DNA Ab that bears the common idiotype, 16/6Id, was synthesized and characterized. The peptide, designated pCDR1, was found to be an immunodominant T-cell epitope in BALB/c mice. The CDR1-based peptide was shown to be capable of inhibiting the in vivo priming of BALB/c mice immunized with the peptide or with the whole anti-DNA 16/6Id(+) mAbs of either mouse or human origin. We show here that administration of pCDR1 (weekly, i.v., 100 microgram/mouse) in aqueous solution for 5 weeks starting at the time of disease induction with the human 16/6Id prevented the development of clinical manifestations of experimental systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Further, 10 weekly injections of pCDR1 to BALB/c mice with an established experimental SLE down-regulated clinical manifestations of SLE (e.g., anti-DNA auto-Abs, leukopenia, proteinuria, immune complex deposits in the kidneys) in the treated mice. Prevention of SLE induction was shown to be associated mainly with a decrease in the levels of IL-2, INFgamma, and the proinflammatory cytokine TNFalpha. On the other hand, the secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokine TGFbeta was elevated. Amelioration of the clinical manifestations of an already established experimental SLE correlated with a dramatic decrease in TNFalpha secretion, elevated levels of TGFbeta, and immunomodulation of the Th1 and Th2 type cytokines to levels close to those observed in healthy mice.
