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 have previously shown that CD4+ T lymphocytes accumulated at the site of allergen induced late-phase reactions (LPR) in the skin of atopic subjects. In order to determine whether these were predominantly 'memory' or 'naive' cells, monoclonal antibodies recognizing isoforms of the CD45 common leucocyte antigen and immunocytochemical methods were used to study the composition of the T cell infiltrate. Allergen-induced late-phase skin reactions were biopsied 6, 24 or 48 h after allergen challenge. Memory (CD45RO+/UCHL1+) T cells predominated and few naive (CD45RA+/Leu18+) cells were identified. Double immunofluorescence was used to confirm that the UCHL1+ and Leu 18+ cells were CD4+ T lymphocytes. The selective recruitment of memory T cells to LPR sites is consistent with the active involvement of T lymphocytes in atopic allergic inflammation. A possible alternative explanation for apparently selective recruitment is the differential expression of endothelial adhesion molecules on memory and naive T lymphocytes.
