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 recently described a model of Th1 recall responses based on segmental antigen challenge with purified protein derivative of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (PPD). Bronchoscopic instillation of 0.5 tuberculin units of PPD resulted in localized lymphocytic inflammation in PPD-positive subjects only. Recruited lymphocytes were predominantly CD4+ and were enriched for cells capable of PPD-specific interferon (IFN)-gamma production. In the current study, we investigated the mechanisms by which this localized recall response is mobilized. Bronchoscopic PPD challenge of skin test-positive subjects resulted in the production of CXCR3 ligands IFN-gamma-inducible protein (IP)-10 and monokine induced by IFN-gamma (Mig), but not of CCR5 ligands macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha and regulated-upon activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted, whereas skin test-negative subjects produced none of these chemokines. Baseline bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells of skin test-positive subjects produced IP-10 and Mig in response to in vitro stimulation as well. Because IP-10 and Mig are IFN-gamma-inducible chemokines, these findings suggested that chemokine responses to PPD were facilitated by resident memory cells of the lung. Further studies confirmed that baseline BAL lymphocytes of PPD-positive subjects produce IFN-gamma in response to PPD, and that, compared with peripheral blood, BAL cells are preferentially enriched for PPD-specific lymphocytes. This IFN-gamma production is predominantly a function of CD4+ T cells that display the CD45RO+/CCR7- surface phenotype characteristic of effector memory cells.
