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

Background: Immune mediated inflammatory changes affecting the endolymphatic sac (ES) may underlie the pathology of Meniere's disease (MD). The aim of the present study was to explore the differentially expressed cytokines in ES luminal fluid (ELF) of patients with MD, and the correlation between the expression of cytokines in the ELF with that in the serum was determined by quantitatively analyzing the cytokines in human ELF and serum. Methods: Human ELF, serum and ES tissues were collected from patients with unilateral MD and patients with acoustic neuroma (AN) during surgery. The Simoa Cytokine 6-Plex Panel kit was used to analyze the levels of cytokines in the ELF and blood samples of the patients. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were subsequently used to validate the relative expression levels of the cytokines in MD. Results: Significant differences were identified in the expression levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) ( Conclusions: The identification of up-regulated expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IFN-γ in the ELF in the present study has provided direct evidence for an increased immunologic activity in the microenvironment of the ES in patients with unilateral MD, may suggest the local inflammatory response underlies the mechanism of this disease.
