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

γδ T cells rapidly produce cytokines and represent a first line of defense against microbes and other environmental insults at mucosal tissues and are thus thought to play a local immunoregulatory role. We show that allergic airway inflammation was associated with an increase in innate IL-17-producing γδ T (γδ-17) cells that expressed the αEβ7 integrin and were closely associated with the airway epithelium. Importantly, PGI(2) and its receptor IP, which downregulated airway eosinophilic inflammation, promoted the emergence of these intraepithelial γδ-17 cells into the airways by enhancing IL-6 production by lung eosinophils and dendritic cells. Accordingly, a pronounced reduction of γδ-17 cells was observed in the thymus of naive mice lacking the PGI(2) receptor IP, as well as in the lungs during allergic inflammation, implying a critical role for PGI(2) in the programming of "natural" γδ-17 cells. Conversely, iloprost, a stable analog of PGI(2), augmented IL-17 production by γδ T cells but significantly reduced airway inflammation. Together, these findings suggest that PGI(2) plays a key immunoregulatory role by promoting the development of innate intraepithelial γδ-17 cells through an IL-6-dependent mechanism. By enhancing γδ-17 cell responses, stable analogs of PGI(2) may be exploited in the development of new immunotherapeutic approaches.
