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

introductionThere has a close relationship between the balance of T helper 17 (Th17) cells and Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) and unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (URPL). The present study is to investigate the regulatory effect of daphnetin, which is extracted from Daphne odora Var, on the balance of Th17 and Treg cells in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with URPL. MATERIAL AND

methodsPBMCs were isolated from 35 pregnant women with URPL and 35 women with normal early pregnancies, respectively and treated with daphnetin for three days. Flow cytometry was performed to measure the proportions of Th17 and Treg cells. The level of expression of IL-6, TGF-β1 and IL-2 were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the level of expression of FoxP3, RORγt, signal transducers and activators of transcriotion 3 (STAT3) and STAT5 were detected by RT-PCR.

resultsThe concentrations of Th17-type cytokines IL-2 were significantly decreased in the URPL group after treatment (p < 0.01). Treg-type cytokines such as TGF-β1 and IL-6 were significantly increased after treatment (p < 0.01). At the same time, daphnetin may induce a decrease in the ratio of RORγt to Foxp3 and a Treg cell bias, which would be beneficial for pregnancy maintenance. Futhermore the expression level of STAT3 were higher in the URPL patients whereas STAT5 were lower than those in the control subjects.

conclusionsIn conclusion, daphnetin may have regulatory effect on the balance of Th17 and Treg cells in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with URPL.
