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

The frequency and severity of episodes of peritonitis adversely affect the structure and function of the peritoneal membrane in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD), but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Alterations in the phenotype and function of resident peritoneal cells may contribute. Because effector memory T cells play a pivotal role in maintaining peripheral tissue immunity, we hypothesized that these cells may initiate or perpetuate the peritoneal inflammatory response. Here, we characterized the phenotype and effector function of peritoneal memory T cells. We found that functional effector memory T cells capable of mounting long-term recall responses enrich the peritoneal cavity of PD patients. Peritoneal T cells were able to mount a Th1-polarized response to recall antigens, and these responses were greater in peritoneal T cells compared with T cells in the peripheral blood. We also observed that the peritoneal T cells had altered telomeres; some cells had ultrashort telomeres, suggesting a highly differentiated local population. In summary, we describe a resident population of memory T cells in the peritoneum of PD patients and speculate that these cells form part of the first line of defense against invading pathogens.
