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

objectiveTo investigate the expression level and clinical significance of (IL-17A(+) and/or IL-17F(+)) Th17 cells under IL-23 regulation in patients of chronic periodontitis (CP) and healthy controls (HC). MATERIALS AND

methodsThe whole peripheral blood samples were collected from 30 CP patients and 25 healthy controls. Flow cytometry was used to test the (IL-17A(+) and/or IL-17F(+)) Th17 expression level. Recombinant human IL-23 (rhIL-23) was used to detect Th17 differentiation and expansion. Correlation coefficient analysis between Th17 expression level and clinical parameters was analyzed by SPSS software.

resultsFlow cytometry results showed that IL-17A(+)IL-17F(-) and IL-17A(-)IL-17F(+) Th17 were both increased in CP group than in HC group (P < 0.01), while, under recombinant human IL-23 (rhIL-23) stimulation, the number of IL-17A(+)IL-17F(-) Th17 cells was significantly increased in both CP and HC groups (P < 0.01). Interestingly, IL-17A(-)IL-17F(+) Th17 cells were only increased in CP group after rhIL-23 stimulation. Additionally, correlation coefficient analysis showed significant correlation between IL-17A(+)IL-17F(-) Th17 cell and attachment loss or probing depth (P < 0.05).

conclusionsThis study indicates that both the IL-17A(+)IL-17F(-) and IL-17A(-)IL-17F(+) Th17 cells may be involved in pathogenesis of periodontitis. The role of these Th17 cells in the disease pathogenesis needs to be further investigated.
