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

purposeAfter uniocular anterior chamber (AC) inoculation with HSV-1, the anterior segment of the injected eye becomes inflamed and infected; however, virus does not spread from the anterior segment and infect the retina of the injected eye. The purpose of this study was to identify early infiltrating cells and to determine whether infiltrating cells produce interferon (IFN)gamma.

methodsEuthymic, female, BALB/c mice were injected in one AC with 3 x 10(4) PFU of HSV-1 (KOS) in a volume of 2 microL. Mice from each group were killed at 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post injection (pi), the eyes were enucleated, and frozen sections were stained with antibodies specific for IFNgamma, Mac-1 (CD11b), CD49b, F4/80, CD4, CD8, and CD11c. The same antibodies were also used to stain single-cell suspensions of ocular cells for flow cytometry.

resultsIn the anterior segment of the injected eye, the ciliary body, and iris were virus infected and inflamed, and infiltrating cells increased throughout the period of observation. Mac-1(+), CD49b(+), and F4/80(+) cells colocalized with IFNgamma in the anterior segment as early as 12 hours pi, and the percentage of Mac-1(+) cells increased in the injected eye beginning at 24 hours pi and continued to 72 hours pi.

conclusionsTaken together, these results demonstrate that Mac-1(+) cells are important IFNgamma-producing cells in the injected eye before day 3 and suggest that the IFNgamma produced by these cells is involved in inhibition of anterior to posterior spread of virus in the injected eye.
