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

Infection with Leishmania major triggers several pathways in the host cell that are crucial to initial infection as well as those that are used by Leishmania to enhance its replication and virulence. To identify the molecular events of the host cell in response to Leishmania, the global gene expression of the human monocytic cell line THP-1 either infected with Leishmania major in the presence and absence of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) or in the presence of IFN-gamma alone was analyzed using high-density human oligonucleotide microarrays, followed by statistical analysis. The persistence of the parasite despite an extensive response to IFN-gamma, added 24 h after infection with L. major, suggests that L. major can survive in an IFN-gamma-enriched environment in vitro. Results demonstrate that L. major counteracts the IFN-gamma response in macrophages on a large scale. Expression of genes involved in the innate immune response, cell adhesion, proteasomal degradation, Toll-like receptor expression, a variety of signaling molecules, and matrix metalloproteinases was significantly modulated.
