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: Since gamma delta (γδ) T cells are involved in various autoimmune diseases, we aimed to verify whether γδ T cells participate in the pathogenesis of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and related pulmonary inflammation, and also aimed to evaluate the effects of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on SS-related pulmonary inflammation and the γδ T cells. Methods: The saliva flow rates of female non-obese diabetic (NOD/Ltj) mice were measured. Histopathologic analysis was performed in salivary glands (SG) and lung tissues. The levels of γδ T cells and their subsets in the peripheral blood, spleen, and lung were examined by flow cytometry. The purified γδ T cells were adoptively transferred into NOD/Ltj mice. MSC transplantation was performed in 8-week-old NOD/Ltj mice. Results: The results showed lymphocytic infiltration in SG and lacrimal glands (LG), and reduction of saliva flow rates in 8-week NOD/Ltj mice. The levels of γδ T cells decreased in peripheral blood, but increased in the lung of 8- and 12-week-old NOD/Ltj mice. The proportions and numbers of Vγ4 Conclusions: Peripheral Vγ4
