Distinct dacryoadenitides autoadoptively transferred to rabbits by different subpopulations of lymphocytes activated ex vivo.
Article in Cornea, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
purposeTo test whether CD4+ T cells proliferate in mixed cell reactions with autologous lacrimal gland (LG) acinar cells and whether these cells can autoadoptively transfer disease.
methodsPurified acinar cells were gamma irradiated and cocultured with peripheral blood lymphocytes. Activated CD4+ T cells were sorted by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Unfractionated activated peripheral blood lymphocytes (UF), CD4+-enriched and CD4+-depleted T cells from an autologous mixed cell reaction were injected into the donor rabbit's remaining LG. After 4 weeks, ocular examinations were performed, and the rabbits were euthanized; LGs were removed for histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction studies.
resultsCD4 T cells increased in the autologous mixed cell reaction from 20% to 80%. Tear production decreased in the induced disease/UF (ID/UF) group and declined even more in the ID/CD4+-enriched group. Tear breakup times decreased and rose bengal staining increased in all groups. All LGs exhibited significant histopathology and increased messenger RNAs for tumor necrosis factor α. The ID/UF group exhibited the largest increases of CD4+ and rabbit T-lymphocyte antigen-positive cells. The ID/CD4+-enriched group contained fewer infiltrating CD4 cells but more eosinophils, severely altered acinar morphology, and increased fibrosis. LG of the ID/CD4+-depleted group exhibited large increases of CD18, major histocompatibility complex II, and CD4+ cells. Messenger RNAs for interleukin 2, interleukin 4, and CD4+ increased in the ID/CD4+-enriched group compared with the CD4+-depleted group.
conclusionsAutoreactive CD4+ effector cells activated ex vivo and autoadoptively transferred, caused what seems to be a distinct dacryoadenitis. The CD4+-depleted cell fraction also contained pathogenic effector cells capable of inducing disease.
