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

Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a life-threatening autoimmune vasculitis that affects lungs, kidneys and other organs. A hallmark of WG is the presence of classic anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (c-ANCA) against self-proteinase 3 (PR3). Little is known about the role of these antibodies and PR3-specific immune responses in disease development. In this study, we demonstrate that PR3-specific autoimmune responses are pathogenic in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice with an impaired regulatory arm of the immune response. Immunization of autoimmunity prone NOD mice with rmPR3 (recombinant mouse PR3) in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) resulted in high levels of c-ANCA, without detectable disease development. However, when splenocytes from these immunized mice were transferred into immunodeficient NOD-severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice, the recipient mice developed vasculitis and severe segmental and necrotizing glomerulonephritis. No disease developed in NOD-SCID mice that received splenocytes from the CFA-alone-immunized donors (controls), indicating that disease development depends upon PR3-specific immune responses. In contrast to the pathology observed in NOD-SCID mice, no disease was observed when splenocytes from rmPR3-immunized C57BL/6 mice were transferred into immunodeficient C57BL/6-RAG-1(-/-) mice, suggesting that complex and probably multi-genetic factors play a role in the regulation of disease development.
