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

Previous experimental models showed that activation of the immune system, particularly T cells, is required for optimal healing following wounds or surgery in the oral cavity. Therefore, studies to explore the interactions between the immune system and the collagen matrix are mandated. The specific aim of the present study was to analyze the interactions between T lymphocytes and a resorbable three-dimensional (3D) collagen matrix routinely used for soft tissue regeneration during periodontal surgery. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from five patients. Following Ficoll-Paque separation, mononuclear cells were grown on fully resorbable 3D collagen matrices for 5 days. Lymphocytes were analyzed by flow cytometry for different surface markers, including CD4, CD8, CD38 and CD69. Cell viability and late apoptosis/necrosis were assessed in each group using an apoptosis assay based on Annexin V/propidium iodide staining. After 5 days in contact with the collagen matrix, the T cells expressed different surface markers. The overall T cell population increased significantly in the collagen matrix group compared to the respective controls (31.9±6.5 vs. 38.7±3.8%). CD8 and CD69 also increased significantly compared to their controls (CD69: 19.7±3.0 vs. 27.1±4.5% for collagen vs. control groups). At the same time, CD4 and CD38 expression was similar in both groups. Viability and apoptosis/necrosis were also identical in the samples and controls. These results show that the interaction between the collagen matrix and the immune cells stimulated activation of T cells and did not impair the healing process.
