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

Agak et al. demonstrate that different strains of Propionibacterium acnes, a bacterium colonizing pilosebaceous units in healthy skin and acne, have the ability to induce T helper type 17 cells secreting either IFN-γ or IL-10 and exhibiting either pathogenic or protective properties, respectively. This work contributes to growing evidence indicating that the phenotype of T helper type 17 cells is largely dependent on their microbiological environment.
