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

We have investigated constitutive and phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) + phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced gene expression of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interferon (IFN)-gamma, interleukin (IL)-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12 and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 10 patients with Takayasu's arteritis (TA) and 10 healthy controls by semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The constitutive mRNA expression of TNF-alpha (69.0 +/- 4.0%versus 27.5 +/- 18.0%; P = 0.001) and IL-4 (60.0 +/- 10.0%versus 0%; P = 0.001) was significantly higher in patients than controls; that of IL-3 was comparable in both groups (38.0 +/- 6.0%versus 32.0 +/- 5.0%; P = 0.651) while no constitutive mRNA expression was observed for the other cytokines studied. The stimulated PBMCs of patients, as compared with the controls, had higher mRNA gene expression of TNF-alpha (127.0 +/- 16.0%versus 54.0 +/- 6.0%; P = 0.001), IFN-gamma (93.0 +/- 13.0%versus 57.0 +/- 5.0%; P = 0.032), IL-2 (109.0 +/- 13.0%versus 68.0 +/- 6.0%; P = 0.015), IL-3 (60.0 +/- 8.0%versus 21.2 +/- 3.0%; P = 0.045) and IL-4 (68.0 +/- 7.0%versus 27.0 +/- 7.2%; P = 0.01) The mRNA expression of IL-10 was lower in patients than controls (35.0 +/- 8.0%versus 75.0 +/- 12.0%; P = 0.022). The GM-CSF mRNA was similar (102.0 +/- 6.0%versus 89.0 +/- 5.0%; P = 0.475) in both groups. Stimulation of cells with PHA + PMA showed no IL-12 expression but stimulation with lipopolysaccharide induced higher IL-12 mRNA in patients than controls (83.0 +/- 14.0%versus 33.0 +/- 4.0%; P = 0.005). Our data suggest that an inflammatory cytokine signature exists in TA with a key role for TNF-alpha, IL-4, IL-10 and IL-12 in different pathological processes of the disease.
