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

objectiveThe role of the adaptive immune system has not been explored in detail compared with the innate immune system in systemic JIA (sJIA) pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to examine the phenotype of circulating peripheral blood CD4(+) T-cell subpopulations in a cross-sectional study of sJIA patients during disease remission on medication and during acute flare of the disease.

methodsFlow cytometry was used to examine the phenotype and cytokine production of IFNγ-, IL-4- and IL-17-producing CD4(+) T cells in the peripheral blood of 10 sJIA patients with active disease, 9 sJIA with inactive disease, 14 JIA patients with oligoarticular onset, 10 adult control subjects and 10 age-matched control subjects. In parallel, we examined the proportion of FoxP3(+) Tregs.

resultsIFNγ- and IL-17-producing CD4(+) T cells and IL-17-producing CD3(+)CD4(-) T cells were present at higher proportions in the peripheral blood of sJIA patients, irrespective of their disease status. Our data also confirm the known increase of the proportions of IFNγ-producing Th1 cells with increasing age and suggest an increase with age in the IL-17-producing CD4(+) T-cell population.

conclusionThis study is the first to describe significantly higher proportions of Th1 and Th17 T helper cell subsets in the peripheral blood of sJIA patients. These proinflammatory cells may play a pathogenic role in sJIA. Our data also emphasize the importance of using paediatric age-matched control subjects when evaluating the T-cell cytokine profile in JIA.
