Reduced T-Helper 17 Responses to Streptococcus pneumoniae in Infection-Prone Children Can Be Rescued by Addition of Innate Cytokines.

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.
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
Background: T-helper (Th) 17 cells are important in the control of Streptococcus pneumoniae. We sought to understand the mechanism of failure of Th17 immunity resulting in S. pneumoniae infections in children <2 years old. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from infection-prone (IP) and non-IP (NIP) children 9-18 months old were examined for their responses to heat-killed S. Pneumoniae, using flow cytometry, reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, and enzyme-linked immunoassay. We measured cytokine production, proliferation, and differentiation of Th17 cells and the expression of transcription factors in response to S. pneumoniae. Results: PBMCs of IP children stimulated with heat-killed S. pneumoniae had significantly reduced percentages of CD4+ Th1 (interleukin2, tumor necrosis factor α) and Th17 (interleukin 17A) cells compared with NIP children. Addition of exogenous Th17-promoting cytokines (interleukin 6, 1β, and 23 and transforming growth factor β) restored CD4+ Th17 cell function in cells from IP children to levels measured in NIP children. Conclusions: Reduced Th17 responses to S. pneumoniae in PBMCs of IP children can be rescued by addition of Th17-promoting cytokines.
