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 purpose of this study was to identify the cell populations involved in recovery from oral infections with Candida albicans. Monoclonal antibodies specific for CD4+ cells, CD8+ cells, and polymorphonuclear leukocytes were used to deplete BALB/c and CBA/CaH mice of the relevant cell populations in systemic circulation. Monocytes were inactivated with the cytotoxic chemical carrageenan. Mice were infected with 10(8) C. albicans yeast cells and monitored for 21 days. Systemic depletion of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes alone did not increase the severity of oral infection compared to that of controls. Oral colonization persisted in animals treated with head and neck irradiation and depleted of CD4+ T cells, whereas infections in animals that received head and neck irradiation alone or irradiation and anti-CD8 antibody cleared the infection in a comparable fashion. The depletion of polymorphonuclear cells and the cytotoxic inactivation of mononuclear phagocytes significantly increased the severity of oral infection in both BALB/c and CBA/CaH mice. High levels of interleukin 12 (IL-12) and gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) were produced by lymphocytes from the draining lymph nodes of recovering animals, whereas IL-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and IFN-gamma were detected in the oral mucosae of both naïve and infected mice. The results indicate that recovery from oropharyngeal candidiasis in this model is dependent on CD4+-T-cell augmentation of monocyte and neutrophil functions exerted by Th1-type cytokines such as IL-12 and IFN-gamma.
