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

backgroundCD1a-expressing CD14+ monocytes have been identified as inducers of autoreactive T cells. In this study, the link between inflammatory and metabolic signals and CD1a-expressing monocytes in vitro and in vivo was examined, and CD1a was evaluated as a potential therapeutic target for treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC).

methodsPeripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from UC patients and non-UC donors were incubated with phosphatidylcholine (PC) for 2 and 7 days and subjected to flow cytometric analysis. Triacylglycerol (TAG) and cholesterol levels and frequencies of CD14+ CD1a+ monocytes were determined in a mouse model of UC that is based on NOD/scid IL2Rγnull mice reconstituted with PBMCs from UC patients (NSG-UC). NSG-UC mice were treated with anti-CD1a antibodies. Response to treatment was determined by clinical and histological scores, flow cytometric analysis of human leucocytes from the spleen and colon, and expression levels of TGFß1, HGF, IFNγ, and TARC.

resultsIncubation of PBMCs with PC resulted in an increase of the frequency of CD1a+ CD14+ monocytes at the expense of CCR2-, CD86-, and TSLPR-expressing CD14+ monocytes. CD1a+ CD14+ monocytes induced the activation of CD4+ T cells and differentiation of Th cells. In vivo, TAG and cholesterol levels increased upon inflammation and correlated positively with CD14+ CD1a+ monocytes. NSG-UC mice benefitted from treatment with anti-CD1a antibodies, as indicated by a reduced histological score and reduced frequencies of CD1a+ CD14+ monocytes in the colon and spleen of mice.

conclusionCD1a-expressing monocytes might act as sensors and mediators of inflammation in UC. Mice benefitted from treatment with anti-CD1a antibodies.
