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

Obliterative bronchiolitis (OB) is the key impediment to the long-term survival of lung transplant recipients and the lack of a robust preclinical model precludes examining OB immunopathogenesis. In the current study, lungs from C57BL/10 H-2(b) mice that are MHC compatible, but minor histocompatability antigen incompatible, were transplanted into C57BL/6 mice. Histological features and cytokine profiles of OB were assessed. Moderate rejection (grade A3) developed by day 14, with evidence of OB at that time point. At 21 days, OB was present in 55% of grafts and moderate to severe rejection (grade A3-A4) was present in all mice. At 28 days, OB was present in 44% of mice and severe rejection (grade A4) was present in all. IL-17A, but not IL-17F, splenic mRNA transcripts and serum protein levels were increased only in mice that developed OB, whereas IL-10 transcripts and protein were increased only in non-OB mice. Neutralizing IL-17 prevented OB, down regulated acute rejection, and upregulated systemic IL-10. Collectively, these data show that transplantation of minor histoincompatible lungs from C57BL/10 mice into C57BL/6 mice results in a highly reproducible preclinical model of OB. In addition, these data indicate that neutralizing IL-17A or augmenting IL-10 could be therapeutic interventions to prevent OB.
