Bridging the gap: Insights in the immunopathology of Lyme borreliosis.
Review in European journal of immunology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Lyme borreliosis (LB), caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) genospecies transmitted by Ixodes spp. ticks, is a significant public health concern in the Northern Hemisphere. This review highlights the complex interplay between Bbsl infection and host-immune responses, impacting clinical manifestations and long-term immunity. Early localized disease is characterized by erythema migrans (EM), driven by T-helper 1 (Th1) responses and proinflammatory cytokines. Dissemination to the heart and CNS can lead to Lyme carditis and neuroborreliosis respectively, orchestrated by immune cell infiltration and chemokine dysregulation. More chronic manifestations, including acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans and Lyme arthritis, involve prolonged inflammation as well as the development of autoimmunity. In addition, dysregulated immune responses impair long-term immunity, with compromised B-cell memory and antibody responses. Experimental models and clinical studies underscore the role of Th1/Th2 balance, B-cell dysfunction, and autoimmunity in LB pathogenesis. Moreover, LB-associated autoimmunity parallels mechanisms observed in other infectious and autoimmune diseases. Understanding immune dysregulation in LB provides insights into disease heterogeneity and could provide new strategies for diagnosis and treatment.
