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

aim of the studyAutoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is characterized histologically by aggressive inflammation with interface hepatitis and prominent lymphoplasmacytic infiltration. Programmed death-1 (PD-1) is expressed on activated lymphocytes. Engagement of PD-1 by its ligand PD-L1 leads to cell apoptosis and death. We aimed to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 in children with AIH, and its relation to treatment outcome. MATERIAL AND

methodsPre-treatment liver biopsies of 31 children with AIH were compared to 30 children with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection as a control group. PD-1 was evaluated in lymphocytes, while PD-L1 was evaluated in lymphocytes, hepatocytes, biliary epithelial cells, sinusoidal endothelial cells and Kupffer cells. All AIH patients received the standard treatment.

resultsThe mean PD-1 was significantly higher in AIH than HCV patients (29.19 ±18.5% vs. 15.2 ±10.1%;

conclusionsPD-1/PD-L1 ratio, which reflects immune aggression, was significantly higher in AIH compared to HCV patients and in non-responder AIH patients compared to responders.
