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

backgroundRegulatory dendritic cells (Reg-DCs), which induce regulatory T cells and interleukin (IL)-10 in vitro, are capable of inducing immunogenic tolerance in vivo. In this study, we assessed whether Reg-DCs modulate the course of autoimmune processes in a murine model of autoimmune gastritis (AIG).

methodsAIG mice were produced by neonatal thymectomy of 3-day old BALB/c mice followed by administration of polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C). Reg-DCs were produced by culturing bone marrow DCs with IL-10, lipopolysaccharide, and parietal cell (PC) antigen for 2 days. In the course of development of AIG, BALB/c mice were administered either Reg-DCs, mature DCs, or phosphate-buffered saline, intraperitoneally, four times. The levels of gastritis and autoantibody to PC antigen were assessed serially in these mice.

resultsThe stages of gastritis and the titers of autoantibody to PC antigen were significantly lower in Reg-DC-treated mice than in mature DC-treated mice (P<0.05). Spleen cells from Reg-DC-treated mice produced increased levels of IL-10 and decreased levels of IL-12p70 and interferon-gamma (P<0.05). Also, frequencies of IL-10-producing CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells in the spleen and Foxp3(+)CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells in the peripheral blood were significantly higher in Reg-DC-treated mice than in mature DC-treated mice (P<0.05).

conclusionsTaken together, these results suggest that increased induction of CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells by Reg-DCs might contribute to downregulation of inflammatory processes and autoantibody production during AIG development in mice.
