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

C-X-C motif chemokine 9 (CXCL9), CXCL10, and CXCL11 are produced in response to interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and trigger inflammation with the accumulation of activated lymphocytes. It appears that these chemokines could play a role in the pathogenesis of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD). Therefore, we investigated the associations between the levels of these chemokine and clinical manifestations in patients with active AOSD. Serum levels of IFN-γ, CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11 were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. IFN-γ levels were higher in AOSD patients than in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (p = 0.001) or healthy controls (HCs) (p = 0.032). AOSD patients also exhibited higher levels of CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11 compared with RA patients (p < 0.001) and HCs (p < 0.001). In follow-up AOSD patients after treatment with corticosteroid, the levels of CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11 fell significantly, whereas IFN-γ levels were not significantly different. On immunohistochemistry, the percentage of CXCL10-positive inflammatory cells was higher in skin biopsy samples from AOSD patients than in those from normal control (p = 0.012), eczema (p = 0.019), and psoriasis (p = 0.009) groups. Levels of the IFN-γ-induced chemokines, CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11, were elevated and correlated with several disease activity markers. These interferon-γ-induced chemokines may contribute to inflammatory responses and skin manifestations in AOSD.
