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

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) constituting Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) is related to a dysregulated T cell response. CCL20 attracts memory T lymphocytes and dendritic cells. We asked whether CCL20 expression is altered in IBD. Colonic biopsies were obtained from 114 subjects with IBD, non-IBD colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and healthy controls. CCL20 and CCR6 mRNA expression was measured by Taqman-PCR, and protein secretion from colonic explant cultures (CEC) and its regulation by TNF-alpha by ELISA. CCL20, CCR6, and Langerin were identified by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. CCL20 mRNA and protein were severalfold increased in involved CD and UC but not in non-IBD colitis. TNF-alpha increased and anti-TNF-alpha decreased CCL20 release in healthy control CEC but not in involved IBD colonic specimens. CCL20 localized to follicle-associated epithelium, and CCR6 to the adjacent mantle zone of lymphoid follicles. Furthermore, abundant numbers of Langerin(+) immature dendritic cells were identified in the subepithelial space of IBD specimens. CCL20 might regulate the attraction of T lymphocytes and dendritic cells in IBD.
