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

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic T cell-mediated inflammatory disease. Interferon (IFN)-γ has been suggested to be vital for the OLP immune responses. A prominent innate-like lymphocyte subset, γδ T cells, span the innate-adaptive continuum and exert immune effector functions by producing a wide spectrum of cytokines, including IFN-γ. The involvement and mechanisms of γδ T cells in the pathogenesis of OLP remain obscure. The expression of γδ T cells in lesion tissues and in the peripheral blood of OLP patients was determined via flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Human leukocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR), cluster of differentiation (CD) 69, Toll-like receptors (TLRs), natural killer group 2, member D (NKG2D) and IFN-γ were detected in γδ T cells of OLP patients using flow cytometry. Additionally, the involvement of stimulator of the interferon genes (STING)-TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) pathway in γδ T cells was evaluated by multi-color immunofluorescence. Western blotting was employed to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of γδ T cells in OLP. γδ T cells were significantly upregulated in the lesion tissues, whereas their peripheral counterparts were downregulated in OLP patients. Meanwhile, increased frequencies of local CD69
