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

Interleukin (IL)-15 overexpression in eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders is reported, but IL-15's role in promoting eosinophilic gastroenteritis is largely unknown. Therefore, we generated enterocyte-overexpressed IL-15 transgenic mice using Fabpi promoter. The Fabpi-IL-15 (iIL-15) transgenic mice showed induced IL-15 levels in the jejunum with a marked increase in jejunum eosinophils. However, no induction of eosinophilia in the blood or any other gastrointestinal segment was observed. Eosinophilia in the jejunum villus was substantially higher in iIL-15 mice compared to wild-type mice. In addition, goblet cell hyperplasia was also observed in the jejunum of iIL-15 mice. Furthermore, a significant correlation between induced IL-15 transcript and the IL-18 transcripts was observed. Therefore, to further understand the role of IL-18 in IL-15 mice associated gastrointestinal disorders, we generated iIL-15/IL-18Rα
