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

Autoimmune hepatitis is associated with interactive cell populations of the innate and adaptive immune systems, and these populations are amenable to therapeutic manipulation. The goals of this review are to describe the key cell populations implicated in autoimmune hepatitis and to identify investigational opportunities to develop cell-directed therapies for this disease. Studies cited in PubMed from 1972 to 2014 for autoimmune hepatitis, innate and adaptive immune systems, and therapeutic interventions were examined. Dendritic cells can promote immune tolerance to self-antigens, present neo-antigens that enhance the immune response, and expand the regulatory T cell population. Natural killer cells can secrete pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and modulate the activity of dendritic cells and antigen-specific T lymphocytes. T helper 2 lymphocytes can inhibit the cytotoxic activities of T helper 1 lymphocytes and limit the expansion of T helper 17 lymphocytes. T helper 17 lymphocytes can promote inflammatory activity, and they can also up-regulate genes that protect against oxidative stress and hepatocyte apoptosis. Natural killer T cells can expand the regulatory T cell population; gamma delta lymphocytes can secrete interleukin-10, stimulate hepatic regeneration, and induce the apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells; and antigen-specific regulatory T cells can dampen immune cell proliferation and function. Pharmacological agents, neutralizing antibodies, and especially the adoptive transfer of antigen-specific regulatory T cells that have been freshly generated ex vivo are evolving as management strategies. The cells within the innate and adaptive immune systems are key contributors to the occurrence of autoimmune hepatitis, and they are attractive therapeutic targets.
