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

Chemokines and their receptors are important mediators of leukocyte trafficking and recruitment and sometimes work as modulators of T-cell responses during infections and inflammation. Modulating the biological activity of chemokines has been found to influence the course of diseases. However, little is known about the role of chemokine responses during chlamydial lung infections. We therefore analyzed the dynamics of multiple chemokines, which are frequently associated with type 1 (Th1) T cell immune responses, and their receptors for their expression in the lungs during Chlamydia muridarum (Cm) infections. We also examined the relationship between chemokine responses and the development of Th1 responses as well as the clearance of infection. Our results showed that in parallel with the high levels of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) and IL-12 production in the lungs and draining lymph nodes, and the expansion of IFN-gamma-producing CD4 and CD8+ T cells, the production of the cell-related chemokines RANTES, IFN-gamma-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) and macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha) and their receptor CCR1 was elevated in the lung tissues after infection. Interestingly, in a later phase of infection, the expression of RANTES and IP-10 remained elevated but the expression of MIP-1alpha and CCR1 decreased to a low level, which suggests a closer association with the pattern of Th1 cytokine responses in the process of infection. These results suggest a close association between the MIP-1alpha response and the Th1-type T-cell responses in chlamydial lung infections.
