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

Atopic dermatitis is characterized by Th2-dominant immunity. Recently many intracellular molecules have been reported to regulate cytokine expression and T cell differentiation. GATA-3 and T-box expressed in T cells (T-bet) are transcription factors that play a critical role in the development of Th2 and Th1 immunity, respectively. Suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS)-3 and SOCS-5, are negative regulators of the cytokine signalling induced by IL-12 and IL-4, respectively. Txk is a transcription factor that activates IFN-gamma gene directly. The present study was designed to identify intracellular molecules that are responsible for the pathogenesis and the imbalance of cytokines in atopic dermatitis. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR revealed that in peripheral blood mononuclear cells without any stimulation the levels of mRNA for GATA-3 and SOCS-3 were elevated, the levels of mRNA for Txk were depressed and the levels of mRNA for T-bet and SOCS-5 were comparable in patients with atopic dermatitis as compared with healthy controls. In addition, successful therapy normalized levels of mRNA for GATA-3 and Txk, although those for the others including IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-13 and IFN-gamma did not change. Levels of Txk mRNA correlated with those of IFN-gamma, while the mRNA levels of the other regulators did not correlate with those of any of the cytokines. These results suggest GATA-3 and Txk might be involved in skin lesions, while SOCS-3 might be associated with an imbalance of cytokines that is difficult to normalize in atopic dermatitis.
