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

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) patients present an exacerbated inflammatory response associated with tissue damage and ulcer development. Increasing numbers of patients have exhibited treatment failure, which remains not well understood. We hypothesized that adjuvant anti-inflammatory therapy would benefit CL patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the contribution of Notch signalling and gamma-secretase activity to the inflammatory response observed in CL patients. Notch signalling is a molecular signalling pathway conserved among animal species. Gamma-secretase forms a complex of proteins that, among other pathways, modulates Notch signalling and immune response. We found that Notch 1 cell receptor signalling protects against the pathologic inflammatory response, and JLK6, a gamma-secretase inhibitor that does not interfere with Notch signalling, was shown to decrease the
