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

Th17 cells play a critical role in both tissue homeostasis and inflammation during clearance of infections as well as autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. Despite numerous efforts to distinguish the homeostatic and inflammatory roles of Th17 cells, the mechanism underlying the divergent functions of inflammatory Th17 cells remains poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrate that the inflammatory Th17 cells involved in autoimmune colitis and those activated during colitogenic infection are distinguishable populations characterized by their differential responses to the pharmacological molecule, clofazimine (CLF). Unlike existing Th17 inhibitors, CLF selectively inhibits proautoimmune Th17 cells while preserving the functional state of infection-elicited Th17 cells partially by reducing the enzyme ALDH1L2. Overall, our study identifies two distinct subsets within the inflammatory Th17 compartment with distinct regulatory mechanisms. Furthermore, we highlight the feasibility to develop disease-promoting Th17 selective inhibitor for treating autoimmune diseases.
