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 Previous studies have indicated an elevated level of serum Interleukin (IL)-22 in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). However, there are no experimental data on the master transcription factor (aryl hydrocarbon receptor) that plays an important role in the development of T helper type 22 (Th22) cells as major producers of IL-22. The aim of the present study was to examine the expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor in patients with AIH and in normal controls. METHODS Levels of mRNA transcripts were measured in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 18 patients with AIH and compared with 18 normal controls by a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS mRNA expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor was significantly higher in patients with AIH compared with the healthy control group (P = 0.006). CONCLUSION Th22 cells may play an important role in the pathogenesis of AIH.
