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

Given their immune-modulating capacity, regulatory T cells (Treg) cells may be important players in the induction of the protective T-cell response (Th1) to genital chlamydial infection. Recent work has demonstrated that plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) respond to genital chlamydial infection, and that pDC may be uniquely positioned for the induction of Treg cells during this infection. Here, we present the first data demonstrating that Treg influx into the draining lymph node and the site of infection during genital chlamydial infection. We found that pDC depletion altered the numbers of Treg and nonprotective inflammatory cells [interferongamma-(IFNgamma)-producing CD8+ T and IFNgamma-producing natural killer T cells] in the spleens of mice genitally infected with Chlamydia muridarum. Furthermore, pDC depletion did not alter Th1 cell numbers, indicating that pDC modulate cells that could inhibit and promote nonprotective inflammation during genital chlamydial infection. Finally, we demonstrate that depletion of pDC results in less severe dilation and collagen deposition in the oviduct following resolution of infection, implicating pDC activity in the formation of sequelae following genital C. muridarum infection.
