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

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by aberrant immune responses against intracellularly derived self antigens. Treatment for SLE relies on the use of aggressive immunosuppressants and steroids that are nonspecific and can cause serious adverse effects. The observation that a systemic immune tolerance to self antigens or generation of regulatory T cells may follow mucosal (nasal or oral) exposure to self proteins or monoclonal antibody against CD3 respectively suggests that induction of mucosal tolerance offers the basis of a side effect-free therapy that could re-establish the ability to distinguish self from non-self and restore peripheral tolerance in individuals susceptible to developing autoimmune diseases. Here I review studies on mucosal tolerance in autoimmune diseases and discuss the therapeutic potential of inducing tolerance for the treatment of SLE.
