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

objectiveOral lichen planus (OLP) is a T cell-mediated inflammatory condition in the oral cavity. Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are gaining more relevance in immune diseases because they can be activated by cytokines without T cell receptor stimulation. Herein, we tested the effect of interleukin-23 (IL-23) on the activation status of OLP MAIT cells.

methodsPeripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from OLP patients were stimulated by IL-23 in the absence or presence of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and ionomycin. The activation status of MAIT cells was analyzed by flow cytometry after staining for CD3, CD4, CD8, CD161, TCR Vα7.2, and CD69.

resultsThe fraction of MAIT cells in OLP peripheral blood was approximately 0.38% to 3.97%, and CD8

conclusionsIL-23 showed different effects on the activation status of OLP MAIT cells and CD8
