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

Objectives: To investigate the immunoregulatory role of the Programmed-cell-Death-protein-1 (PD1) pathway, an inhibitory immune checkpoint, in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). Methods: The PD1 expression on CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells was determined by flow cytometry and the PD1 soluble form (sPD1) levels by ELISA, in peripheral blood (PB)/serum and synovial fluid (SF) samples of JIA patients and healthy controls (HCs). We searched for any association in-between the biomarkers and with JIA activity. Results: 101 Caucasian patients (69 female), aged 12 (8-15) years, and 20 HCs participated in this study. The PB PD1 expression on T-cells was higher in: a. JIA patients Conclusion: These results indicate an up-regulation of the PD1-pathway in JIA, at least quantitatively, especially in active disease. sPD1 is compartmentally produced at the inflamed joints. Further investigation in a larger sample of JIA patients may verify these observations and contribute to unravelling the precise role of the PD1 pathway in the pathogenesis and persistence of the joint inflammation.
