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

backgroundT(H)17 responses have recently been implicated to play a role in allergic airway diseases, but their local expression in the setting of allergic rhinitis (AR) and their regulation in allergic airway diseases remain unclear.

objectiveWe sought to investigate the regulatory role of Clara cell 10-kDa protein (CC10), an endogenous regulator of airway inflammation, on T(H)17 responses in the setting of AR.

methodsWild-type and homozygous CC10-null mice were used to establish an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced AR model. Human recombinant CC10 was given during sensitization or challenge. T(H)17 responses in human subjects and mice were examined by using flow cytometry, quantitative RT-PCR assay, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA. The direct effect of CC10 on T(H)17 cells and CD11c(+) dendritic cells (DCs) was studied by means of cell culture. Adoptive transfer was used to examine the influence of CC10-conditioned DCs on airway inflammation. The regulatory effect of CC10 on the expression of the CCL20 gene was tested by using the BEAS-2B cell line.

resultsCompared with those of control subjects, T(H)17 responses were enhanced in the nasal mucosa of patients with AR. CC10-null mice with AR showed enhanced T(H)17 responses, and CC10 treatment significantly decreased T(H)17 responses. CC10 had no direct effect on in vitro T(H)17 cell differentiation. CC10 could significantly decrease the expression of OX40 ligand, IL-23, and IL-6 but enhance CD86 and TGF-β expression in DCs. Importantly, CC10 was able to inhibit T(H)17 cell polarization in the presence of OVA-pulsed DCs. CC10 pretreatment inhibited T(H)17 responses elicited by adoptive transfer of OVA-pulsed DCs. Furthermore, CC10 decreased the expression of CCL20 in BEAS-2B cells induced by inflammatory cytokines.

conclusionT(H)17 responses are enhanced in patients with AR, and CC10 inhibits T(H)17 responses through modulation of the function of DCs.
