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

Leishmania amazonensis can cause progressive disease in most inbred strains of mice. We have previously shown that L. amazonensis-infected C57BL/6 mice have profound impairments in expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines and in activation of antigen-specific CD4(+) T cells. These impairments are independent of interleukin-4 (IL-4) but partially due to IL-10 production. The precise mechanism of pathogenesis associated with L. amazonensis infection remains largely unresolved. Since chemokines are essential mediators of leukocyte recruitment and effector cell function, we hypothesized that these molecules are important for the initiation of early responses locally and for the eventual control of the infection. In this study, we examined the roles of CXCL10/gamma interferon-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) and CCL2/monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) in the activation of the macrophage effector function in vitro and their efficacy in ameliorating infection in vivo. Bone marrow-derived macrophages of both BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice were treated with increasing concentrations of recombinant chemokines prior to infection with either stationary-phase promastigotes or tissue-derived amastigotes. We found that treatment with IP-10 or MCP-1 significantly reduced parasite burdens, in a dose-dependent manner, and triggered nitric oxide production. When susceptible C57BL/6 mice were injected locally with IP-10 following L. amazonensis infection, there was a significant delay in lesion development and a reduction in parasite burdens, accompanied by 7- and 3.5-fold increases in gamma interferon and IL-12 secretion, respectively, in restimulated lymph node cells. This study confirms that IP-10 plays a protective role in promoting the reduction of intracellular parasites and thereby opens new avenues for therapeutic control of nonhealing cutaneous leishmaniasis in the New World.
