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
backgroundThymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) has been reported to activate myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) to induce Th2 T lymphocyte responses. Its effect on plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) with TLR ligands has not yet been studied. We investigated the effects of TSLP and TLR ligands on mDCs and pDCs subsets. MATERIAL AND
methodsMyeloid dendritic cells (mDC) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) were stimulated by TLR ligands (mDC with TLR1/2 LTA, TLR2 PGN, TLR3 poly I: C, TLR4 LPS, TLR5 Flagellin) (pDC with TLR9 CpG2006, CpG 2216, TLR7 loxoribine) in the presence or absence of TSLP. Supernatants from mDCs and pDCs were analyzed for cytokine production. mDCs and pDCs were collected and cultured with allogeneic naïve T cells and after 7 days of co-culture. DC-primed CD4+ T cells were washed and restimulated with PMA and ionomycin. Cytokine production in supernatants from restimulated cells - IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-13, TNF-a was analyzed by Luminex.
resultsTSLP alone induced the expression of maturation markers on mDCs and increased their ability to polarize lymphocytes into the Th2 phenotype. We demonstrated that pDCs also have the capacity to become even more potent inducers of Th2 immune responses, but only after combined treatment with TSLP and TLR ligands, particularly with TLR9 ligand CpG 2006.
conclusionsTSLP plays a major role in Th2 polarization of immune response mediated by myeloid DCs. Here, we demonstrate that plasmacytoid DCs, exposed to TSLP together with TLR ligands, acquire significant potential towards Th2 polarization.
