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

Purpose: Nearly a third to half of patients with noninfectious uveitis (NIU) fail to achieve control with immunomodulatory therapy (IMT). Multidrug resistance (MDR) proteins are transmembrane proteins that allow efflux of intracellular drugs, leading to drug resistance. The aim of our study was to compare MDR protein function in blood CD4 Methods: We included NIU patients on IMT for ≥6 months and corticosteroid dose ≤10 mg/d. Nonresponders to treatment were those with worsening (two or more steps) of inflammation in the past 3 months on full-dose immunosuppressive therapy. MDR function was assessed by Rhodamine-123 dye retention in blood CD4 Results: Fourteen NIU patients were recruited. Most ( Conclusions: MDR function is significantly higher in CD4 Translational Relevance: Our study highlights the need for MDR inhibition strategies in NIU patients not responding to IMT for improving the efficacy of anti-inflammatory therapy.
