Cytokine production is altered in monocytes from children with hemolytic uremic syndrome.
Article in Journal of clinical immunology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeThe interaction of Shiga toxin (Stx) and/or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) with monocytes (Mo) may be central to the pathogenesis of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), providing the cytokines necessary to sensitize endothelial cells to Stx action. We have previously demonstrated phenotypical alterations in Mo from HUS patients, including increased number of CD16+ Mo. Our aim was to investigate cytokine production in Mo from HUS patients.
methodsWe evaluated TNF-α and IL-10 intracellular contents and secretion in the different Mo subsets in mild (HUS 1) and moderate/severe (HUS 2 + 3) patients. As controls, we studied healthy (HC) and infected children (IC). We also studied Mo responsive capacity towards LPS, measuring the modulation of Mo surface molecules and cytokine production.
resultsIn basal conditions, the intracellular measurement of TNF-α and IL-10 revealed that the highest number of cytokine-producing Mo was found in HUS 2 + 3 and IC, whereas LPS caused a similar increase in TNF-α and IL-10-producing Mo for all groups. However, when evaluating the release of TNF-α and IL-10, we found a diminished secretion capacity in the entire HUS group and IC compared to HC in basal and LPS conditions. Similarly, a lower Mo response to LPS in HUS 2 + 3 and IC groups was observed when surface markers were studied.
conclusionThese results indicate that Mo from severe cases of HUS, similar to IC but different to mild HUS cases, present functional changes in Mo subpopulations and abnormal responses to LPS.
