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

CD4 T-helper (Th) cells secret a variety of inflammatory cytokines and play critical roles in host defense against invading foreign pathogens. On the other hand, uncontrolled inflammatory responses mediated by Th cells may result in tissue damage and inflammatory disorders including autoimmune and allergic diseases. Thus, the induction of anti-inflammatory cytokine expression becomes an important "brake" to repress and/or terminate aberrant and/or unnecessary immune responses. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is one of the most important anti-inflammatory cytokines to limit inflammatory Th cells and immunopathology and to maintain tissue homeostasis. Many studies have indicated that Th cells can be a major source of IL-10 under specific conditions both in mouse and human and that extracellular signals and cell intrinsic molecular switches are required to turn on and off Il10 expression in different Th cells. In this review, we will highlight the recent findings that have enhanced our understanding on the mechanisms of IL-10 induction in distinct Th-cell subsets, including Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, as well as the importance of these IL-10-producing anti-inflammatory Th cells in immunity and inflammation.
