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

Oropharyngeal candidiasis is associated with defects in cell-mediated immunity and is commonly seen in human immunodeficiency virus positive individuals and AIDS patients. A model for oral candidiasis in T-cell-deficient BALB/c and CBA/CaH nu/nu mice was established. After inoculation with 10(8) Candida albicans yeasts, these mice displayed increased levels of oral colonization compared to euthymic control mice and developed a chronic oropharyngeal infection. Histopathological examination of nu/nu oral tissues revealed extensive hyphae penetrating the epithelium, with polymorphonuclear leukocyte microabscess formation. Adoptive transfer of either naive or immune lymphocytes into immunodeficient mice resulted in the recovery of these animals from the oral infection. Reconstitution of immunodeficient mice with naive CD4(+) but not CD8(+) T cells significantly decreased oral colonization compared to controls. Interleukin-12 and gamma interferon were detected in the draining lymph nodes of immunodeficient mice following reconstitution with naive lymphocytes. This study demonstrates the direct requirement for T lymphocytes in recovery from oral candidiasis and suggests that this is associated with the production of cytokines by CD4(+) T helper cells.
