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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsActivation of T cells by dendritic cells (DC) is thought to play a pivotal role in induction and maintenance of Crohn's disease. Detailed analyses however concerning the phenotype and maturation of DC as well as the mechanisms underlying their recruitment are still lacking for Crohn's disease.

methodsDifferent myeloid and plasmacytoid DC subsets were characterised by immunohistochemistry. Expression of the so-called "lymphoid" chemokines CCL19, CCL20, and CCL21 was determined by real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction in Crohn's disease and normal controls. Furthermore, expression of CCL19, CCL20, and CCL21 as well as their receptors CCR6 (for CCL20) and CCR7 (for CCL19 and CCL21) was characterised by immunohistochemistry and, in addition, their cellular localisation was determined by double immunofluorescence investigations.

resultsColonic tissue affected by Crohn's disease was characterised by an increased number of mature myeloid DC forming clusters with proliferating T cells. In keeping with their advanced maturation, DC possess the chemokine receptor CCR7. Increased expression of the CCR7 ligands CCL19 by DC themselves as well as CCL21 by reticular cells and lymphatic vessels was observed in Crohn's disease, thereby causing the matured DC to be trapped at the site of inflammation.

conclusionOur results demonstrate that autocrine and paracrine actions of lymphoid chemokines in Crohn's disease may lead to increased numbers of mature DC away from their usual migration to lymphoid organs and result in the development of a tertiary lymphatic tissue within the bowel wall maintaining the autoimmune inflammation in Crohn's disease.
