Changes of Treg and Th17 cells as well as cytokines in children with acute bronchitis.

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
The present study aimed to investigate changes of T-regulatory (Treg) and T-helper (Th)17 cells as well as cytokines in peripheral blood of children with acute bronchitis, and to explore the roles of these cells in the pathogenesis of acute bronchitis. A total of 126 children who had presented at Renji Hospital (Shanghai, China) with acute bronchitis were selected as the observation group and 30 healthy children were selected as the control group. Th17/Tregs in the peripheral blood of the children of the observation group and the control group was detected by flow cytometry. The levels of cytokines interleukin (IL)-17, IL-22, IL-10 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β in peripheral blood serum were detected by ELISA. Compared with those in the control group, Treg cells, the Treg/Th17 ratio as well as serum IL-10 and TGF-β levels were significantly decreased in the observation group (P<0.05), while Th17 cells as well as serum levels of IL-17 and IL-22 were significantly increased (P<0.05). In conclusion, Treg/Th17 and the expression of associated cytokines lost their balance in children with acute bronchitis, suggesting that Treg and Th17 cells as well as their cytokines may be involved in the pathogenesis of acute bronchitis. It may be of certain guiding significance to detect Treg/Th17 and levels of serum cytokines in peripheral blood for clinical treatment.
