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 cells, in particular CD4(+) T cells, have been implicated in mediating many aspects of rheumatoid inflammation. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), CD4(+) T cells display various functional abnormalities in the synovium as well as in the peripheral circulation. Current evidence suggests, however, that the role of CD4(+) T cells in the development of rheumatoid inflammation exceeds that of activated pro-inflammatory effector T cells that drive the chronic autoimmune response. Subsets of CD4(+) T cells with regulatory capacity, such as CD25(+) Tregs, have been identified in mice and man, and recent observations suggest that in RA, the function of these regulatory T cells is severely impaired. Thus, in RA, defective regulatory immune mechanisms might allow the breakdown of peripheral tolerance, following which the detrimental CD4(+) T-cell-driven immune response evolves and proceeds to chronic inflammation. Here, we review the functional abnormalities and the contribution of different T-cell subsets to rheumatoid inflammation.
