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

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), an intracellular enzyme responsible for catalyzing the rate limiting step of tryptophan catabolism, plays a critical role in immune cell suppression and tolerance. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-mediated depletion of the essential amino acid tryptophan increases susceptibility of T cells to apoptosis, while kynurenine and its downstream metabolites, such as 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid and quinolinic acid, have a direct cytotoxic effect on conventional effector T cells. Additionally, IDO-expressing antigen presenting cells (APCs) induce proliferation of regulatory T cells. When expressed by an APC, the immunosuppressive effects of IDO may act directly on the APC as well as indirectly upon local T cells. One approach to elicit immune tolerance or reduce inflammation therefore is to promote expression of IDO. However, this approach is constrained by several factors including the potential for deleterious biologic effects of conventional IDO-inducing agents such as interferon gamma (IFNγ), and the potential limitations of constitutive gene transfection. Alternatively, direct action of recombinant IDO enzyme supplied exogenously as a potential therapeutic in the extracellular space has not been investigated previously, and is the focus of this work. Results indicate exogenous recombinant human IDO supplementation influences murine dendritic cell (DC) maturation and ability to suppress antigen specific T cell proliferation. Following treatment, DCs were refractory to maturation by LPS as defined by co-stimulatory molecule expression (CD80 and CD86) and major histocompatibility complex II (MHC-II) expression. Dendritic cells exhibited skewing toward an anti-inflammatory cytokine release profile, with reduced secretion of IL-12p70 and maintained basal level of secreted IL-10. Notably, IDO-treated DCs suppressed proliferation of ovalbumin (OVA) antigen-specific CD4
