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

objectiveAqueous extract of Caesalpinia sappan (CSE) has immunosuppressive activities, but the mechanism remains unknown. This study was to investigate the effect of CSE on the balance between CD4(+) CD25(+) T cells and Th17 cells.

methodsAllografted Balb/c recipients were intraperitoneally treated with CSE for 14 continuous days, and the graft survival was observed. The spleen cells and peripheral blood of the recipient mice were harvested for phenotyping by flow cytometry, detection of gene expression by real-time PCR and cytokine detection by ELISA.

resultsCSE prolonged skin allograft survival, increased the percentage and number of CD4(+) CD25(+) T cells, the expression of Foxp3 and STAT5 in spleen cells, the serum levels of IL-10 and TGF-β1, whereas reduced the percentage and number of Th17 cells and serum IL-17 level in Balb/c recipients.

conclusionCSE expanded CD4(+) CD25(+) T cells and decreased Th17 cells in vivo thereby improving skin allograft survival in mice, indicating that CSE affects the balance between CD4(+) CD25(+) T cells and Th17 cells in the graft to induce rejection.
