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

OBJECTIVE AND

designHere, we evaluated the distribution and functional profile of circulating CD27 MATERIALS AND

methodsPeripheral blood from 39 SSc patients and 20 healthy individuals was used in this study. The TCR-γδ repertoire, cytokine production and cytotoxic signatures of circulating γδ T-cell subsets were assessed by flow cytometry. Gene expression of EOMES, NKG2D and GZMA was evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR in both purified γδ T-cell subsets.

resultsAbsolute numbers of γδ T-cell subsets were significantly decreased in SSc groups, likely reflecting their mobilization to the inflamed skin. Both γδ T-cell subsets preserved their relative proportions and Th1-type cytokine responses. However, cytotoxic properties showed significant disease-associated and subset-specific changes. SSc patients exhibited increased percentages of CD27

conclusionsSignificant alterations on circulating γδ T-cell subsets suggest a deregulated (increased) cytotoxic activity and thus enhanced pathogenic potential of CD27
