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

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) are believed to play key roles in both postoperative pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses of malignancies. Recombinant human thrombomodulin (rTM) is implied to inhibit the interaction between TGF-β and Tregs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the antitumor effects of rTM against gastrointestinal tumors under systemic inflammation. Mice were subjected to cecal ligation and puncture and percutaneous allogeneic tumor implantation. rTM were introduced by percutaneous injection into the abdominal cavity. The effects of rTM were evaluated by weight of implanted tumor, proportion of Tregs in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and temporal evaluation of serum cytokines. The effect of rTM was also evaluated on the in vitro differentiation of naïve T cells into induced Tregs induced by TGF-β and interleukin (IL) -2. rTM significantly inhibited the proliferation of the implanted tumor cells in an inflammation-dependent manner. rTM also reduced the fractions of regulatory T cells and induced regulatory T cells among both PBL and TIL. Temporal evaluation of serum cytokine levels in the model mice showed that rTM significantly suppressed the increases in the serum levels of IL-2 and TGF-β. An in vitro differentiation assay revealed that rTM inhibited the differentiation of naïve T cells into Tregs triggered by IL-2- and TGF-β. rTM has suppressive effects on inflammation-induced gastrointestinal tumor growth by suggestively affecting differentiation of Tregs.
