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

Recruitment of lymphocytes is a prominent feature of the inflammatory process in Crohn's disease (CD). The present study was undertaken to investigate the expression of the novel lymphocyte-specific chemoattractant lymphotactin (Lptn) as a potential regulatory factor for the recruitment of T cells in CD. The expression of Lptn mRNA was quantified in resection specimens of patients with CD in comparison to normal controls without signs of inflammation by real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and localized by nonradioactive in situ hybridization. Furthermore, the phenotype of cells expressing Lptn mRNA was characterized. In contrast to normal controls Lptn mRNA was significantly increased in tissue samples affected by CD. Cells expressing Lptn were identified as T cells, mast cells, and unexpectedly dendritic cells. Lptn mRNA was found to be up-regulated on stimulation with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate and concanavalin A in T cells isolated from peripheral blood, which could be prevented by dexamethasone, cyclosporine A, and FK506. A similar regulation mechanism could be identified for the Lptn receptor GPR-5 in peripheral T cells. In addition, Lptn mRNA expression could be induced in mature monocyte-derived dendritic cells. The results indicate that local expression of Lptn by activated T cells and to a lesser extent by mast cells and dendritic cells represents a key regulator for lymphocyte trafficking and maintenance of the inflammatory process observed in CD, which might be partly mediated through an autocrine/paracrine pathway of activated T cells.
