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

Although patients with GVHD have elevated serum levels of IL10, whether its role is protective or pathogenic remains unclear. Here, we used a humanized mouse model to study the role of IL-10 in GVHD. When human PBMCs were engrafted in NOD-scid IL2rγc(null) mice expressing human IL-10, the T cells underwent massive expansion resulting in lethality by day 21, whereas control mice survived for at least 40 days. Histopathology of the liver showed extensive mononuclear cell infiltration in IL-10 expressing but not in control mice. Corresponding to their aggressiveness, the T cells in the IL-10 group exhibited predominantly an effector memory phenotype (CD45RO(+)CD27(-)) while in control mice, the T cells were of transitional memory phenotype (CD45RO(+)CD27(+)). Further, IL-10 receptor blocking antibody was able to protect the animals from GVHD. Since our results demonstrate a direct pathogenic role for IL-10, blockade of IL-10 signaling may provide a therapeutic option for GVHD.
