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

Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the urinary bladder with a strong autoimmune component. Currently, the major challenge in IC treatment is the development of effective therapies. RDP58 is a novel d-amino acid decapeptide with potent immunosuppressive activity. In this study, we investigated whether RDP58 was effective as an intravesical agent for treating bladder autoimmune inflammation in a transgenic mouse model (URO-OVA mice). URO-OVA mice were adoptively transferred with syngeneic activated splenocytes of OT-I mice transgenic for the OVA-specific CD8(+) TCR for cystitis induction and treated intravesically with RDP58 at days 0 and 3. Compared with controls, the RDP58-treated bladders showed markedly reduced histopathology and expressions of mRNAs and proteins of TNF-alpha, NGF and substance P. To determine whether the inhibition of bladder inflammation by RDP58 was due to the interference with effector T cells, we treated the cells with RDP58 in vitro. Cells treated with RDP58 showed reduced production of TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma as well as apoptotic death. Collectively, these results indicate that RDP58 is effective for treating T cell-mediated experimental autoimmune cystitis and may serve as a useful intravesical agent for the treatment of autoimmune-associated bladder inflammation such as IC.
