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

purpose of reviewThe intestinal epithelium is a dynamic barrier protecting the body from the multitudes of luminal micro-organisms present in the gut. However, this barrier is not impermeable and mechanisms exist that allow small amounts of antigen to traverse the epithelium in controlled manner to maintain tolerance and to mount immune responses. This review will summarize our current understanding of how luminal antigens traverse the small intestine epithelium without disrupting the epithelial barrier and how these antigen delivery pathways might influence the resulting immune responses. RECENT

findingsRecent findings have revealed four pathways for transepithelial antigen delivery in the absence of barrier disruption. We propose that during homeostasis, antigen introduced through microfold cells induces immunoglobulin A responses, antigen delivered by goblet cell-associated antigen passages contributes to peripheral tolerance, and antigen delivered by paracellular leak initiates immune responses in the mesenteric lymph node. In contrast, dendritic cell transepithelial dendrites may play an important role in host protection during pathogen infection, but do not appear to play a role in antigen capture by lamina propria dendritic cells in the steady state. SUMMARY: These observations indicate that the route by which antigen crosses the epithelium directs the outcome of the subsequent immune response.
