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

Interleukin-17 (IL-17), the prototype cytokine produced by the Th17 subset of T-helper cells, plays a role in inflammatory responses, autoimmunity, and antimicrobial responses in a variety of infectious and inflammatory diseases. In view of the inflammatory nature and severity of aggressive periodontitis, we hypothesized that IL-17 might be detected in sera from patients with aggressive periodontitis. We used ELISA to measure IL-17 serum concentrations from 67 periodontally healthy (NP) individuals and from 53 patients with localized (LAgP) and 49 patients with generalized (GAgP) aggressive periodontitis. IL-17 was barely detectable in sera from periodontally healthy individuals (1.9 +/- 2.0 pg/mL), but was present at significantly higher concentrations in sera from those with LAgP (7.6 +/- 2.2 pg/mL) and GAgP (17.1 +/- 2.3 pg/mL). Multivariate analyses demonstrated associations of IL-17 concentrations with periodontal attachment loss, but not with current smoking. Therefore, Th17 responses may be characteristic of AgP, and IL-17 may play a role in the pathogenesis of aggressive periodontitis.
