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

objectiveDendritic cells (DCs) are largely responsible for the activation and fine-tuning of T-cell responses. Altered numbers of blood DCs have been reported in type 1 diabetes (T1D). We aimed at characterizing the less well-known phenotypic properties of DCs in T1D. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsIn a case-control setting, samples from a total of 90 children were studied by flow cytometry or by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR).

resultsWe found decreased numbers of myeloid DCs (mDCs) (8.97 vs. 13.4 cells/μL, P = 0.009, n = 31) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) (9.47 vs. 14.6 cells/μL, P = 0.018, n = 30) in recent-onset T1D. Using a panel of antibodies against functionally important DC markers, we detected a decreased expression of CC chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) on mDCs (percentage above negative control, P = 0.002, n = 29) and pDCs (median intensity, P = 0.003, n = 30) from T1D patients. In an independent series of children, the reduced expression of CCR2 was confirmed by qPCR in isolated mDCs (P = 0.043, n = 20). Serum concentrations of CCR2 ligands monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and -3 did not differ between the groups. A trend for an enhanced responsiveness of the nuclear factor-κB pathway (P = 0.063, n = 39) was seen in mDCs from children with β-cell autoantibodies, which is possibly related to the reduced CCR2 expression, since CCR2 on mDCs was downregulated by nuclear factor-κB-activating agents.

conclusionsGiven the role of CCR2 in DC chemotaxis and in DC-elicited Th1 differentiation, our results may indicate a functionally important DC abnormality in T1D affecting the initiation and quality of immune responses.
