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

Epidemiologic evidence suggests that cigarette smoking is a risk factor for infection with influenza, but the mechanisms underlying this susceptibility remain unknown. To ascertain if airway epithelial cells from smokers demonstrate a decreased ability to orchestrate an influenza-induced immune response, we established a model using differentiated nasal epithelial cells (NECs) from nonsmokers and smokers, co-cultured with peripheral blood monocyte-derived dendritic cells (mono-DCs) from nonsmokers. NEC/mono-DC co-cultures were infected with influenza A virus and analyzed for influenza-induced immune responses 24 hours after infection. We observed that NECs from smokers, as well as mono-DCs co-cultured with NECs from smokers, exhibited suppressed influenza-induced, interferon-related proteins interferon regulatory factor-7, Toll-like receptor-3, and retinoic acid inducible gene-1, likely because of the suppressed production of IFNα from the NECs of smokers. Furthermore, NEC/mono-DC co-cultures using NECs from smokers exhibited suppressed concentrations of T-cell/natural killer cell chemokine interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10) after infection with influenza, indicating that NECs from smokers may skew early influenza-induced Th1 responses. In contrast, NEC/mono-DC co-cultures using NEC from smokers contained increased influenza-induced concentrations of the Th2 chemokine thymic stromal lymphopoeitin (TSLP). In addition, NECs from smokers cultured alone had increased influenza-induced concentrations of the Th2 chemokine thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC). Using this model, we demonstrated that in the context of infection with influenza, NECs obtained from smokers create an overall cytokine microenvironment that suppresses the interferon-mediated Th1 response and enhances the TSLP-TARC-mediated Th2 response, with the potential to modify the responses of DCs. Smoking-induced alterations in the Th1/Th2 balance may play a role in developing underlying susceptibilities to respiratory viral infections, and may also promote the likelihood of acquiring Th2 proallergic diseases.
