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

We have reported that helper T type 17 (Th17) cells increased in patients with Behcet's disease (BD). It remains obscure how Th17 cells increase in the patients. We here analyzed whether T cells preferentially differentiate into Th17 cells in response to various inflammatory cytokines in patients with BD. Exogenous interleukin (IL)23 sustained the higher Th17 cell frequencies of CD4+CD45RO+ T cells after a 2-day culture in vitro in patients with BD, whereas the T cell subpopulation of normal individuals did not respond to IL23 to sustain/increase Th17 cell frequencies. IL23 receptor positive cell frequencies in freshly isolated BD CD4+CD45RO+ T cells correlated with Th17 cell frequencies assessed by intracellular cytokine staining. After a 2-day culture with IL23, BD CD4+ T cells retained the correlation between IL23 receptor expression level and extent of IL17 secretion (as indicated by Th17 cell frequencies), whereas such correlation was not noted in normal individuals. IL23 signals with its receptor were thus suggested to induce IL17 secretion (Th17 cell frequencies) in a short-time culture in patients with BD. We cultured CD4+CD45RO- T cells for 11 days with various inflammatory cytokines to study which cytokine associated with the enhanced Th17 frequencies in the patients. IL17 production by CD4+CD45RO- T cells of BD patients increased significantly by the supplementation of IL1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α, in addition to IL23, compared with that of normal individuals. These results suggest that proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL1β, TNFα, and IL23, may associate with the expansion of Th17 cells in patients with BD. This study was registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network-Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000003806).
