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

purposeCutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA)-expressing CD8⁺T cells have been known to play an important role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD). However, the mechanisms underlying the loss of self-tolerance remain unclear. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a key role in the development of homeostasis in the immune system. We, therefore, hypothesized that a reduced ability of Tregs to inhibit autologous CD8⁺CLA⁺T cells might be underlying mechanism in AD. MATERIALS AND

methodsCD8⁺CLA⁺T cells and Tregs were obtained from the peripheral blood of AD patients and control volunteers. The frequencies of CD8⁺CLA⁺T cells were evaluated. The proliferative responses of CD8⁺CLA⁺T cells were assessed by flow cytometry, and the levels of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in culture supernatants were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

resultsOur results revealed higher frequency and increased expression of perforin and granzyme-B in peripheral CD8⁺CLA⁺T cells in AD, and lower inhibitory ability of Tregs on proliferation of CD8⁺CLA⁺T cells in AD. Meanwhile, the levels of TGF-β1 produced by Tregs were significantly lower in AD, and anti-TGF-β1 abolished such suppression.

conclusionThe attenuated inhibitory ability of Tregs on hyper-activated autologous CD8⁺CLA⁺T cells, mediated by TGF-β1, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of AD.
