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

IL-35 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine and is thought to be produced by regulatory T (Treg) cells. A previous study found that IL-35 was upregulated in the serum of patients with active tuberculosis (ATB), and IL-35-producing B cells infiltrated to tuberculous granuloma of patients with ATB. Purified B cells from such patients generated more IL-35 after stimulation by antigens of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and secreted more IL-10. However, the function and the underlying mechanisms of IL-35-producing B cells in TB progression have not been investigated. The present study found that the expression of mRNA of IL-35 subsets Ebi3 and p35 was elevated in mononuclear cells from peripheral blood, spleen, bone marrow, and lung tissue in a mouse model infected with Mycobacterium bovis BCG, as tested by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Accordingly, the flow cytometry analysis showed that the counts of a subset of IL-35
