Antigen inhibition of collagen-induced arthritis is associated with up-regulation of IL-4 mRNA and induction of Ox40 on T cells in draining lymph nodes.

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.
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 addition of a foreign antigen to an inoculum completely inhibits the development of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). However, the mechanism of this phenomenon, antigen -inhibition, is incompletely understood. Previous studies have demonstrated that the inhibition of arthritis is not mediated through suppression of the antibody response to cartilage antigens. In this paper we investigated cytokine mRNA levels in lymph nodes cells recovered 3, 7 or 16 days from animals immunized with either collagen II in IFA or OVA + collagen II in IFA. At day 7, but not at other time-points, IL-4 mRNA was up-regulated in the lymph nodes of OVA-inhibited non-arthritic animals compared to control animals which all developed arthritis. No significant differences between the two groups could be detected when expression of IFN-gamma, IL-2, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta or IL-10 mRNA was analysed. Flow cytometry analysis of draining lymph node cells demonstrated that the T cell marker Ox40 was up-regulated in the OVA-inhibited group. Our results indicate that the complete inhibition of CIA caused by addition of OVA to the collagen II inoculum is due to the presence of a TH2 environment resulting from an increased production of IL-4 mRNA and a parallel increase in Ox40+ T cells.
