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

T helper 17 (Th17) cells have been suggested to play a crucial role in various complications during pregnancy by participating in maternal immune activation (MIA). To test a possible role for Th17 cells in MIA-mediated abortion, we analyzed transgenic mice overexpressing retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor gamma-t (RORγt), a master regulator of IL-17 producing cell development. These mutant mice (RORγt Tg mice) exhibited a constitutive upregulation of serum IL-17A and decreased E-cadherin expression in cell-cell junctions of placental tissues. Abortion after the administration of a viral-mimicking synthetic double-stranded RNA polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid was more frequent in RORγt Tg mice than wild-type mice. These results suggest that excessive Th17 cell activity alters immune responsiveness and increases the rate of abortion during gestation.
