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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsMucosal flattening and epithelial cell apoptosis are typical features of T cell induced inflammatory diseases of the bowel, such as coeliac disease and graft versus host disease. Mice injected with a T cell activating anti-CD3 antibody develop a severe diarrhoeal illness. We describe the histological features of this enteropathy and define the effector mechanisms involved in T cell induced mucosal injury in this in vivo model.

methodsWild-type and genetically modified mice were injected with the anti-CD3 antibody 3C11 (50 microg). Changes in the murine intestine were characterised by light microscopy analysis and terminal uridine nick-end labelling (TUNEL) assay. The role of perforin, Fas/Fas ligand (FasL), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) in T cell induced mucosal damage was assessed using selected immunodeficient mouse strains.

resultsT cell activation caused severe damage, including small intestinal mucosal flattening and apoptosis of crypt epithelial cells. Mucosal damage was unaltered in anti-CD3 treated mice lacking IFN-gamma, Fas, or TNF-alpha receptors. In mice lacking TNF-alpha receptors and Fas (TNF-R1xR2 lpr/lpr strain), enterocyte apoptosis was diminished but there was no significant reduction in tissue damage. Apoptosis and mucosal injury were significantly reduced in perforin knockout mice. Abrogation of both FasL and perforin (perforin KOxgld mice) further significantly reduced tissue damage and apoptotic bodies.

conclusionsT cell induced mucosal injury is mediated by the combined effect of multiple pathways but predominantly by perforin. The redundancy of the mechanisms of tissue damage will have significant impact on therapeutic strategies aimed at specific and targeted inhibition of inflammatory processes.
