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

BACKGROUND &

aimsMice that are deficient in interleukin (IL)-10 develop colitis, mediated by T-helper (Th)1 and Th17 cells, and IL-10-producing regulatory T (Treg) cells suppress colitis, implicating IL-10 in maintaining mucosal homeostasis. We assessed the relative importance of immunoregulatory IL-10 derived from T cells or from antigen presenting cells (APCs) in development of intestinal inflammation.

methodsCD4(+) cells from germ-free (GF) or specific pathogen-free (SPF) IL-10(-/-) or wild-type mice were injected into IL-10(-/-), Rag2(-/-) mice or Rag2(-/-) mice that express IL-10. After 6-8 weeks, we evaluated inflammation, spontaneous secretion of cytokines from colonic tissue, and mRNA levels of the transcription factor T-bet and the immunoregulatory cytokine transforming growth factor (TGF)-β. CD4(+) T cells were co-cultured with bacterial lysate-pulsed APCs and assayed for cytokine production, FoxP3 expression, and TGF-β-mediated Smad signaling.

resultsCD4(+) cells from GF or SPF IL-10(-/-) or wild-type mice induced more severe colitis and higher levels of inflammatory cytokines in IL-10(-/-), Rag2(-/-) mice than in IL-10-replete, Rag2(-/-) mice. Co-cultures of IL-10(-/-) or wild-type CD4(+) T cells plus bacterial lysate-pulsed APCs from IL-10(-/-) mice contained more interferon (IFN)-γ, IL-12/23p40, and IL-17 than co-cultures of the same T cells plus APCs from wild-type mice. CD11b(+) APCs were required for these effects. Blocking IL-10 receptors increased production of IFN-γ and IL-12/23p40 whereas exogenous IL-10 suppressed these cytokines. IL-10-producing APCs induced TGF-β-mediated, retinoic acid-dependent, differentiation of FoxP3(+) Treg cells, whereas blocking the retinoic acid receptor, in vitro and in vivo, reduced proportions of FoxP3(+) Treg cells.

conclusionsIL-10 produced by APCs regulates homeostatic T-cell responses to commensal bacteria.
