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

backgroundTo clarify which types of cells produce interferon-gamma-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) and whether IP-10 is associated with the development of ulcerative colitis (UC), we investigated IP-10 production in UC patients.

methodsSerum IP-10 levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 29 patients with active and 21 with inactive UC and in 20 controls. The production of IP-10 by granulocytes and monocytes adsorbed to G-1 beads was examined. In 21 active UC patients treated with granulocyte and monocyte/macrophage adsorptive apheresis (GMA), serum IP-10 levels were measured before and after treatment. IP-10-positive cells in UC mucosa were also examined immunohistochemically using tissues obtained by surgical resection and colonoscopic biopsies.

resultsSerum IP-10 levels in active UC patients were significantly higher than those in inactive patients, although even in the latter the levels were increased compared with those in controls. IP-10 production by granulocytes and monocytes in active UC patients was significantly higher than that in controls. Furthermore, the number of IP-10-positive cells was elevated in the colonic mucosa of patients with active UC, and one of the main subpopulations of IP-10-positive cells was granulocytes. Serum IP-10 levels decreased following GMA treatment in responders, but not in nonresponders. Interestingly, serum IP-10 levels before GMA were higher in responders than in nonresponders. In parallel with the serum levels, IP-10-positive cells also decreased following GMA treatment.

conclusionsSerum IP-10 levels reflected UC disease activity, and the source of IP-10 was granulocytes and monocytes. Furthermore, serum IP-10 levels may be a marker for the responsiveness of patients to GMA treatment.
