Immunoregulatory abnormalities in patients with pigeon breeder's disease.
Article in Lung, 1990. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
T-cell suppression induced by concanavalin-A (Con-A) and the prostaglandin suppressor system (PSS) were studied in 14 patients with pigeon breeder's disease (PBD), 12 and 10 asymptomatic breeders, and 8 controls. Our results showed that PBD patients display a significant decrease in T-cell-induced suppression (29.6 +/- 15.3% vs. 61.2 +/- 9.3% in controls p less than 0.05); whereas asymptomatic breeders respond heterogeneously: 5 showed decreased suppression and 7 were within the normal range obtained in controls. In contrast, the patients presented a higher PSS index compared with the other 2 groups, suggesting an inverse relationship between the 2 systems. These findings indicate that there are relevant differences between PBD patients, asymptomatic breeders, and normal subjects in some immune interactions, which may at least partially explain the characteristic cellular and humoral hyperreactivity observed in patients with this disease.
