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 aim of the present study was to investigate the changes in the cytokine expression of peripheral regulatory T cells (Treg) and T helper 17 (Th17) cells in children with rotavirus (RV) enteritis. In total, 102 children with RV enteritis were recruited for the observation group, while 30 healthy cases were included in the control group. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the individuals in the two groups, after which flow cytometry was conducted to detect the proportion of Treg and Th17 cells. In addition, ELISA was used to determine the levels of the cytokines, interleukin (IL)-10, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, IL-17 and IL-6. When compared with the control group, the proportion of Treg cells and level of TGF-β in the peripheral blood of the children with RV enteritis were significantly decreased (P<0.05); however, the proportion of Th17 cells and the serum levels of IL-17 and IL-6 in the peripheral blood of children with RV enteritis were significantly increased (P<0.05). In conclusion, the present study identified an imbalance in the proportion of peripheral blood Treg/Th17 cells, and subsequently in the expression of cytokines, in children with RV enteritis. Thus, detecting the proportion of peripheral blood Treg/Th17 cells in children with RV enteritis, or the changes in the levels of serum cytokines, is of clinical significance for further investigation into the pathogenesis of RV enteritis.
