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

Fasciola hepatica releases excretory-secretory products (FhESP), and immunomodulatory properties have been described for the carbohydrates present in these parasite products. The interaction of FhESP with the innate immune cells, such as macrophages, is crucial in the early stage of infection. In this work we observed that peritoneal macrophages from naive BALB/c mice stimulated in vitro with FhESP presented: an increased arginase activity as well as Arginase I expression, and high levels of transforming growth factor-β and interleukin-10. A similar macrophage population was also observed in the peritoneum of infected mice. A partial inhibition of the immunomodulatory effects described above was observed when macrophages were pre-incubated with Mannan, anti-mannose receptor, Laminarin or anti-Dectin-1, and then stimulated with FhESP. In addition, we observed a partial inhibition of these effects in macrophages obtained from mice that were intraperitoneally injected with Mannan or Laminarin before being infected. Taken together, these results suggest the participation of at least two C-type lectin receptors, mannose receptor and Dectin-1, in the interaction of FhESP with macrophages, which allows this parasite to induce immunoregulatory effects on these important innate immune cells and may constitute a crucial event for extending its survival in the host.
