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

BACKGROUND To investigate the gene expression levels of interleukin 10 (IL10), IL18, interferon gamma (IFNG), IFN-gamma receptor (IFNGR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in patients with active Behçet's uveitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty patients with Behçet's disease diagnosed according to the International Study Group criteria and 30 healthy individuals were included in the study. IL10, IL18, IFNG, IFNGR, CRP, and HSP70 gene expression levels were compared. RESULTS Expression levels of IL18, IFNG, IFNGR, and CRP were significantly higher in patients with active Behçet's uveitis than in control subjects (P<0.01 for all), whereas no significant differences were found in IL10 and HSP70 gene expression levels (P>0.01 for both). CONCLUSIONS IL18, IFNG, IFNGR, and CRP gene expression is significantly increased in active Behçet's uveitis. There was no significant difference between active Behçet's uveitis patients and controls in terms of IL10 and HSP70 gene expression levels. We conclude that drugs prescribed to Behçet's patients with active uveitis downregulate gene expression.
