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

The effect of hypercholesterolemia induced immune response and inflammation on progression of atherosclerosis in ApoB(tm25gy) LDLr(tm1Her) mice, expressing only ApoB100 and deficient in the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, thus closely resembling human cholesterol transport is not well defined. Atherosclerosis was induced by a high cholesterol diet and its progression was studied at 8, 14 and 20 weeks. Antibody response was determined by ELISA. Lymphocytes in spleen and aortic expression of inflammatory markers were studied by flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry respectively. A rapid increase in plasma LDL levels in the first 8 weeks was followed by the exponential development of atherosclerosis between 8 and 14 weeks. Progression of the disease was accompanied by an accumulation of macrophages and increased expression of IL17 and IFN-γ in the aorta. Hypercholesterolemia resulted in increased immune response to modified lipids and aortic inflammation, with an expansion of Th17 cells in the spleen. Progression of atherosclerosis showed a positive correlation (r = 0.84, P < 0.001) with Th17 cells and a negative correlation with Treg cells (r = 0.83, P < 0.001). IgM antibodies to Ox-LDL and Th17 cells in spleen showed greatest association with disease development. Our results suggest that anti Ox-LDL IgM antibodies, Th17 cells could be developed as a potential marker to study disease progression and to study the effect of therapeutic regulation of inflammation.
