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-dependent immunological events are increasingly being regarded as extremely important in the pathogenesis of uveitis. Several studies have also shown that macrophages are major effectors of tissue damage in uveitis. Neutrophils are also thought to play a central role in the pathogenesis of Behçet's disease. Chemokines are a superfamily of 8 to 10-kDa secreted proteins that direct the recruitment of leukocytes to sites of inflammation. The specific biological effects of chemokines are mediated by a family of seven transmembrane-spanning G-protein-coupled receptors. Recent studies of animals and humans suggest that chemokines and their receptors play a key role in leukocyte recruitment into the eye in uveitis. A strategy for blocking chemokines or chemokine receptors could be a new approach for treatment of uveitis.
