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

Periodontal ligament (PDL) cells help maintain tissue homeostasis by balancing PDL tissue inflammation and regeneration. However, the mechanisms by which interferon γ (IFNγ) modulate this process are not yet fully understood. The present study aimed to examine the effect of primed and non-primed PDL cells with IFNγ on the viability and differentiation of T lymphocytes and its functional consequences. The results showed that IFNγ-primed PDL cells possessed enhanced immunosuppression by suppressing T-lymphocyte viability and directing T-lymphocyte differentiation towards a higher T helper (Th) Th2/Th1 ratio. Suppression of T-cell viability was mainly mediated by IFNγ-inducible secreted mediators, which was prevented in the presence of direct cell contact, probably by intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)-induced PI3 K-mediated transforming growth factor β1 expression in PDL cells. By contrast, ICAM-1 activation augmented IFNγ-induced IFNγ and interleukin-6 expression in PDL cells, which in turn modulated T-cell differentiation. The resulting interaction between these two cell types activated macrophage and suppressed osteoclast differentiation. In conclusion, the results have shown, for the first time to our knowledge, that primed and non-primed PDL cells with IFNγ differentially control T-cell responses via IFNγ-inducible mediators and ICAM-1-mediated direct cell contact, suggesting the role of PDL cells in shifting an inflammatory phase towards a regenerative phase.
