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

introductionTo investigate the relationship between CD4(+)CD25(+)CD127(dim) regulatory T cells (Tregs) and immune imbalance in acquired severe aplastic anemia (SAA).

methodsThe quantity of CD4(+)CD25(+)CD127(dim) Tregs in 44 SAA patients and 23 normal controls were measured by flow cytometry. Correlations between Tregs and T cell subsets, dendritic cell (DC) subsets, granulocyte counts and percentage of reticulocytes (RET%) were analyzed.

resultsThe percentage of CD4(+)CD25(+)CD127(dim) Tregs in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) of untreated patients was lower than in recovery patients and normal controls (0.83 ± 0.44% vs 2.91 ± 1.24% and 2.18 ± 0.55%, respectively, p<0.05). The percentage of CD4(+)CD25(+)CD127(dim) Tregs in CD4(+) T lymphocytes of recovery patients was higher than for untreated patients and normal controls (9.39 ± 3.51% vs 7.61 ± 5.3% and 6.83 ± 1.4%, respectively, p<0.05). The percentage of CD4(+) T lymphocytes in PBL of untreated patients was lower than for recovery patients and normal controls (13.55 ± 7.37% vs 31.82 ± 8.43% and 32.12 ± 5.88%, respectively, p<0.05). T cell subset (CD4(+)/CD8(+) ratio) was 0.41 ± 0.24 in untreated patients, which was lower than recovery patients (1.2 ± 0.4) and normal controls (1.11 ± 0.23) (p<0.05). DC subset (myeloid DC/plasmacytoid DC ratio, DC1/DC2 ratio) was 3.08 ± 0.72 in untreated patients, which was higher than recovery patients (1.61 ± 0.49) and normal controls (1.39 ± 0.36) (p<0.05). The percentage of CD4(+)CD25(+)CD127(dim) Tregs in PBL was positively associated with T cell subset (r=0.955, p<0.01), and negatively associated with DC subset (r=-0.765, p<0.01). There were significant positive correlations between CD4(+)CD25(+)CD127(dim) Tregs/PBL and granulocyte counts and RET% (r=0.739, 0.749 respectively, p<0.01). DISCUSSION AND

conclusionThe decrease of CD4(+)CD25(+)CD127(dim) Tregs in SAA patients may cause excessive functions of T lymphocytes and thus lead to hematopoiesis failure in SAA.
