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

backgroundAllergic contact dermatitis (ACD), which is accelerated by interferon (IFN)-γ and suppressed by interleukin (IL)-10 as regulators, is generally self-limited after removal of the contact allergen. Adipose tissue-derived multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) potentially exert immunomodulatory effects. Considering that subcutaneous adipose tissue is located close to the site of ACD and includes mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), the MSCs in adipose tissue could contribute to the self-limiting course of ACD.

objectiveThe aims of the present study were to elucidate the effects of MSCs in adipose tissue on ACD and to examine any cytokine-mediated mechanisms involved.

methodsEar thickness in a C57BL/6 mouse model of ACD using contact hypersensitivity (CHS) elicited by 2,4,6-trinitro-1-chlorobenzene was evaluated as a marker of inflammation level. Five and nine mice were injected with ASCs and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), respectively. After ASC or PBS injection, real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were performed.

resultsHistology showed that CHS was self-limited and ear thickness was suppressed by ASCs in a dose-dependent manner. IFN-γ expression in the elicited skin site and regional lymph nodes was significantly lower in ASC-treated mice than in control mice. IL-10 expression did not differ between treated and control mice. The suppressive effects of ASCs on CHS response did not differ between IL-10 knock-out C57BL/6 mice and wild-type mice.

conclusionThe present findings suggest that MSCs in adipose tissue may contribute to the self-limiting course of ACD through decreased expression of IFN-γ, but not through increased expression of IL-10.
