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

Contact hypersensitivity (CHS) is a T-cell-mediated skin inflammatory response. It is controversial whether CD4(+) T cells play an enhancing or regulatory role in the pathogenesis of CHS. Because interleukin (IL)-16 is a chemoattractant cytokine for CD4-expressing cells, we investigated the involvement of IL-16 in the CHS reaction. IL-16 production was induced in the epidermis and dermis during the elicitation phase of the CHS response with trinitrochlorobenzene. In the sensitization phase, the single application of haptens such as trinitrochlorobenzene and oxazolone also induced IL-16, whereas primary irritants or vehicle control did not. IL-16 was produced mainly by CD11c-negative cells in the epidermis during the elicitation phase. Furthermore, treatment of sensitized mice with anti-IL-16 neutralizing MoAb enhanced the ear swelling and reduced the number of infiltrating CD4(+) T cells. These data indicate that IL-16 plays a role in CHS, whereby IL-16 induces CD4(+) T cells and these CD4(+) T cells subsequently exhibit down-regulating properties.
