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

objectiveRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by circulating anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) autoantibodies (ACPAs), resulting in inflammation of the joints and other organs. We have established novel assays to assess immune cell subpopulations, including citrullinated antigen-specific (CAS) autoreactive B and T lymphocytes, in patients with RA. METHODS AND

resultsWe found that activated CD25

conclusionNovel assays were established to reliably detect CAS T and B cells in patients with RA, and specific CAS-naive T helper cells, Th1.17 cells, cTfh cells, and cTfh1 cells were observed more frequently in RA. Based on these results, new coculture systems of disease-relevant cells are developed to simulate human secondary lymphoid tissues ex vivo. This technology will serve as a platform to identify therapies that modulate disease-specific immune cells.
