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

T-cell dysfunction in B-CLL patients might be attributed to altered expression of components of the TCR/CD3 complex and associated intracellular tyrosine kinases. Four-color flow cytometry was applied to the expression of these molecules as well as the T-cell regulatory cytokines (IFN-gamma and IL-4) in B-CLL patients with indolent and progressive disease. Intracellular levels [mean fluorescent intensity (MFI)] of IFN-gamma and IL-4 in both CD4 and CD8 T cells of both patient groups were significantly higher than in healthy donors. Absolute number of IL-4 producing CD4 T cells in patients with indolent was significantly higher than in healthy donors. The expression level (MFI) of the CD3-zeta chain was higher in patients than in normal donors as well as ZAP-70 in patients with indolent disease as compared to healthy donors and progressive patients. No significant difference was noted in the expression of p56lck, p59fyn, and PI3-kinase between healthy donors and patients or between the patient subgroups. The results indicate multiple T-cell abnormalities especially in indolent-stage B-CLL suggesting a state of chronic and aberrant activation. This information might be of significance when studying the immunobiology of B-CLL as well as developing new therapeutic approaches.
