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

introductionEpidemiological and animal studies indicate that helminth infections have positive effects due to their potential to protect against autoimmune diseases. Here, we aim to assess the effect of MATERIALS AND

methodsMonocytes were isolated from helminth-infected Ethiopians (MHIE), and from Dutch healthy volunteers (MHV). The MHV were stimulated in vitro with

resultsMHIE showed elevated transcripts of SOCS-1 and TNF-α compared to MHV. Similarly, MHV that were stimulated with SEA demonstrated enhanced levels of SOCS-1, IL-10, and IL-12 mRNA, compared to control MHV. Remarkably, the SEA-treated monocytes showed a much higher motility than control monocytes, a hallmark of a patrolling phenotype. Furthermore, in vitro cultured macrophages that were stimulated by SEA exhibited enhanced mRNA levels of SOCS-1, IL-10, TNF-α, IL-12 and TGF-β, compared to control macrophages.

conclusionMacrophages from MHIE as well as SEA-treated MHV show an intermediate activation phenotype with both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory characteristics in vitro. The observed pro-inflammatory properties might reflect a recent response of the cells due to contact with a pathogen, whereas the anti-inflammatory properties might contribute to helminth-induced protection against inflammatory diseases. Large-scale study is recommended to consolidate the findings of the present study.
