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

backgroundThe proinflammatory chemokine CXCL10, in addition to its chemotactic properties, is also involved in the stimulation of natural killer and T-cell migration in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. In this study, our experiments were designed to determine the role of interferon (IFN)-alphabeta in the production of CXCL10 by human monocytes infected with Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG).

methodsThe concentrations of CXCL10 in culture supernatants of monocytes infected with M. bovis BCG were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. CXCL10 mRNA levels were determined by the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction method.

resultsWe have shown the induction of CXCL10 following infection with M. bovis BCG in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. Importantly, the secretion of CXCL10 in response to M. bovis was increased by IFN-alpha. These results were further confirmed by the fact that the addition of an anti-IFN-alphabeta neutralizing antibody completely reversed the stimulatory effect, whereas an isotype-matched control antibody had no significant effect on CXCL10 secretion. It is important to note that no significant effect of type I IFN on CXCL8 production in M. bovis-infected monocytes was observed. This was consistent with the finding by the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction method that treatment with anti-IFN-alpha/beta antibodies potentially inhibited CXCL10 mRNA levels, whereas no significant effect was observed on CXCL8 mRNA. Moreover, in THP-1 monocytes and THP-1 macrophages, the addition of exogenous IFN-alpha stimulated CXCL10 secretion.

conclusionsCollectively, these results indicate that the type I IFN may play an important role to modulate the expression of CXCL10 in M. bovis BCG infection. Studies on M. bovis-induced chemokine secretion could provide important insight into the regulation of the immune response against tuberculosis.
