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

objectiveTo evaluate lymphocyte activation following mitogen and cyclosporin A (CsA) administration in peripheral blood of hyperthyroxinaemic and hypothyroid patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsLymphocyte activation was evaluated by determining blastogenesis in 48 h cultured blood lymphocytes obtained from eight hyperthyroxinaemic and eight hypothyroid patients, following phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-induced stimulation in the absence or presence of CsA. Twelve healthy volunteers served as controls. RESULTS AND

conclusionsLymphocytes from hypothyroid patients exhibited reduced response to PHA and lower sensitivity to CsA compared with control, which could be attributed to their reduced activation capability coexisting with hypothyroidism. In hyperthyroxinaemic samples, the actions of high CsA concentrations were mostly targeted toward activated lymphoblasts. Considering the cellular targets that thyroid hormones and CsA may share, the therapeutic implications of their cross-talk need careful consideration.
