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

aims/hypothesisThe relative contribution of T helper (Th)1 and Th17 cells in graft rejection is inconclusive, on the basis of evidence provided by different T cell-related cytokine-deficient animal models and graft types.

methodsWe used novel antigen-presenting-cell-specific Il-12p35 (also known as Il12a)-knockout (KO), IL-23p19-knockdown (KD) and IL-27p28-KD strategies to investigate T cell differentiation in islet graft rejection.

resultsIn vitro dendritic cell-T cell coculture experiments revealed that dendritic cells from Il-12p35-KO and IL-23p19-KD mice showed reduced ability to stimulate IFN-γ and IL-17 production in T cells, respectively. To further explore the T cell responses in islet graft rejection, we transplanted islets into streptozotocin-induced diabetic NOD/severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) recipient mice with IL-12-, IL-23-, or IL-27-deficient backgrounds and then challenged them with NOD.BDC2.5 T cells. The survival of islet grafts was significantly prolonged in Il-12p35-KO and IL-23p19-KD recipients compared with the control recipients. T cell infiltrations and Th1 cell populations were also decreased in the grafts, correlating with prolonged graft survival. CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationOur results suggest that IL-12 and IL-23 promote and/or maintain Th1 cell-mediated islet graft rejection. Thus, blockade of IL-12 and IL-23 might act as therapeutic strategies for reducing rejection responses.
