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

Biological effects of in vivo transfection of a potential anti-inflammatory gene, designated Sm16, cloned from the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni were analyzed in these studies. A single intradermal injection of a full-length cDNA of Sm16 resulted in the expression of Sm16 in the epidermis, dermis, skin migratory cells and skin-draining lymph nodes of mice for up to 7 days. Subsequently the anti-inflammatory effect of this gene expression was evaluated by inducing an inflammatory response in the skin of mice. These studies showed that Sm16 gene delivery resulted in a significant suppression of cutaneous inflammation as shown by a reduction in cutaneous edema, decrease in neutrophil infiltration, suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and down-regulation of ICAM-1 expression in the skin inflammatory site. Cells collected from the skin-draining lymph nodes showed reduced proliferation to mitogen. Multiple intradermal injection of Sm16 cDNA failed to induce any antibody response in mice for up to 8 weeks after initial injection. These findings suggest a potential for developing Sm16 gene delivery as a therapeutic agent for treating inflammatory skin disorders.
