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

We show that in vitro activation of interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP)-specific T cells from C57BL/6 mice immunized with an uveitogenic IRBP peptide (IRBP(1-20)) under TH17-polarizing conditions is associated with increased expansion of T cells expressing the gammadelta TCR. We also show that highly purified alphabeta or gammadelta T cells from C57BL/6 mice immunized with IRBP(1-20) produced only small amounts of IL-17 after exposure to the immunizing Ag in vitro, whereas a mixture of the same T cells produced greatly increased amounts of IL-17. IRBP-induced T cells from IRBP-immunized TCR-delta(-/-) mice on the C57BL/6 genetic background produced significantly lower amounts of IL-17 than did wild-type C57BL/6 mice and had significantly decreased experimental autoimmune uveitis-inducing ability. However, reconstitution of the TCR-delta(-/-) mice before immunization with a small number of gammadelta T cells from IRBP-immunized C57BL/6 mice restored the disease-inducing capability of their IRBP-specific T cells and greatly enhanced the generation of IL-17(+) T cells in the recipient mice. Our study suggests that gammadelta T cells are important in the generation and activation of IL-17-producing autoreactive T cells and play a major role in the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune uveitis.
