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

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH) is an autoimmune disease, and glucocorticoid therapy (GC) is widely used for VKH. We provided a profile of leukocyte populations and serum cytokines in VKH patients under GC. A prospective observational study was conducted on three treatment-naïve VKH patients. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the patients before GC (VKH-acute) and after 6 months (VKH-remission), and healthy individuals were used as controls. Proportions of 37-type leukocytes and levels of 27-kind cytokines were measured by mass cytometry and multiplex bead analysis. Property similarity was analyzed using hierarchical cluster analysis. The leukocytes and cytokines were broadly classified into four and three clusters: (1) a cluster with high intensity in VKH-acute consisting of B cells, Th2-like, Th17-like, basophils, and IL-7 and IP-10; (2) a cluster with high intensity in VKH-remission composed of monocytes, neutrophils, IL-4, and TNFα; in leukocytes, (3) a cluster with low intensity in VKH-acute and -remission consisting of CD8
