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

Interferon-tau (IFN-tau) treatment of Trichinella spiralis-infected BALB/c mice was investigated. The therapeutic regimen consisted of daily intraperitoneal injection of 10(4) U murine IFN-tau for 7 days, starting at 2 weeks post-infection. Striated muscle samples (diaphragm, thigh) were collected at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after infection. The muscle larval burden, the degree of encystation and the digestion of T. spiralis larvae were investigated. Furthermore, immunohistochemical studies of the inflammatory cell infiltrate around encysted larvae were performed. The results demonstrated an influence of IFN-tau treatment on the CD4+ and CD8+ subset distribution during the immune response but revealed no difference in the degree of encystation or digestion of encapsulated larvae as compared with control values.
