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 correlations between toll-like receptor 6 (TLR6) expression in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and auxiliary T cells of children with purpura. A total of 42 children with acute Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) were selected for the study, and a further 30 healthy children were selected as a control group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were performed to detect the levels of plasma interferon (IFN)-γ, interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-17, and flow cytometry was performed to detect the TLR6 protein expression levels in PBMCs. The plasma levels of IL-4, IFN-γ and IL-17 in the HSP group were significantly higher compared with those in the normal control group. TLR6 protein expression was significantly increased in the PBMCs of the HSP patients. The TLR6 protein expression levels in the monocytes of the HSP group significantly positively correlated with the serum IL-4 and IL-17 levels, but not with the serum levels of IFN-γ. Therefore, the results of the present study suggest that the activation of TLR6 may be involved in the immunopathogenesis of HSP, and that the activated TLR6 may mediate this process by upregulating the immune responses of type 2 T helper (Th2) and Th17 cells.
