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: Peripheral blood is frequently used to study the immune response in human uveitis because of the inaccessibility of ocular tissue samples. To determine whether peripheral blood immune cells accurately reflect the intraocular immune response, we compared the T-cell profiles and antigen-specific cytokine responses between paired vitreous and peripheral blood samples from patients with sight-threatening posterior uveitis. Methods: We collected paired vitreous and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 24 patients with posterior uveitis. Multi-parametric flow cytometry was employed to identify surface and intracellular cytokine markers after activation with candidate antigenic peptides [ Results: The CD8 Conclusion: The vitreous T-cell compartment in this group of uveitis patients was functionally dominated by antigen-responsive cytotoxic CD8
