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

Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is overtly expressed on skin lesions of atopic dermatitis (AD), and the initiative role of TSLP-activated DCs in AD has gained much attention in the past few years, while its actions on other immune cells such as T cells have been given less notice. We aimed to clarify whether TSLP receptor (TSLPR) is expressed on certain populations of T cells and whether TSLP possesses the capability to directly interact with T cells from AD patients. Peripheral lymphocytes from 51 AD patients are analyzed by flow cytometry, and ex vivo experiments using peripheral blood and lesional skin-derived T cells were conducted. TSLPR expression was defined to CD4+ T cells, and CD4+CCR4+CXCR3-CCR7-CCR10+CLA+ T cells in AD patients exhibited enhanced TSLPR expression. The frequency of TSLPR+CD4+ T cells correlated with disease activity. CD4+ T cells from AD patients directly interacted with TSLP to produce a higher amount of IL-4 than those from normal subjects, and this action was attenuated with anti-TSLPR antibody. The importance of IL-4 in the induction of TSLPR expression was found in AD T cells. Our findings indicate that T cells from AD patients possess strong potential to directly interact with TSLP to promote Th2 response.
