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

backgroundThe numbers of IL-27-producing CD4(+) T cells and the concentration of soluble IL-27 have been found to be increased in tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE). The objective of the present study was to explore the mechanism by which IL-27(+)CD4(+) T cells are recruited into the pleural space, and to explore the impact of IL-27 on pleural mesothelial cells (PMCs).

methodsThe expression profiles of chemokine receptor (CCR) were determined by flow cytometry. The chemoattractant activity of chemokines CCL20 and CCL22 for IL-27(+)CD4(+) T cells in vitro was observed. Effects of IL-27 on wound healing, proliferation and apoptosis of PMCs were also investigated.

resultsIL-27(+)CD4(+) T cells in TPE expressed high level of CCR6, medium level of CCR4, and low levels of CCR2, CCR3, CCR5, CCR7, CCR10, and CXCR3. Recruitment of IL-27(+)CD4(+) T cells into TPE could be induced by pleural CCL20 and CCL22. By activating STAT3 signaling, IL-27 significantly improved wound healing and promoted proliferation of PMCs, and completely prevented apoptosis of PMCs induced by IFN-γ.

conclusionsAfter being recruited into pleural space by CCL20 or/and CCL22, these pleural IL-27-producing CD4(+) T cells may play important roles in tuberculosis immunity by affecting PMC functions.
