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

backgroundRecently, we identified neutralizing autoantibodies against progranulin (PGRN) in a wide spectrum of rheumatic diseases including cases with enteropathic spondylarthritis. PGRN is a secreted protein with strong anti-inflammatory effects, believed to be mediated by the direct inhibition of TNF receptors 1&2. Given the central role of TNF-α as proinflammatory cytokine, a neutralizing antibody directed against its physiologic antagonist PGRN might entertain a proinflammatory environment.

objectiveThe aim of the present study was to investigate a possible occurrence of PGRN-antibodies (PGRN-Abs) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and to investigate a possible pathogenic effect. MATERIALS AND

methodsSera samples of 141 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and of 71 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) were tested for PGRN-Abs by ELISA. PGRN plasma levels were detected by ELISA. Proinflammatory effects of progranulin-antibodies were analyzed by TNF-α-mediated cytotoxicity assays using HT29 cells and by examination of possible effects of PGRN and of PGRN-antibodies on TNF-α-induced downmodulation of FOXP3 expression in CD4(+)CD25(hi) Tregs.

resultsPGRN-Abs were found in sera of 23/141 (16.31%) patients with CD, and 15/71 (21.13%) patients with UC. PGRN-Abs were more frequent than anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCAs) in UC, but less frequent than anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCAs) in CD. PGRN-Abs belonged mostly to IgG1 (71.1%) and IgA (26.3%). They occurred in relevant titres and had significant neutralizing effects on PGRN plasma levels. Cytotoxicity assays comparing PGRN-antibody-positive sera with negative sera from matched patients with IBD showed a proinflammatory effect of PGRN-Abs on HT29 cells. Moreover, PGRN-antibodies led to an increase of TNF-α-induced downmodulation of FOXP3 in CD4(+)CD25(hi) Tregs.

conclusionThe results suggest that PGRN-Abs occur frequently in CD and UC, and have a proinflammatory effect.
