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

In both acute and chronic pancreatitis, the local pancreatic immune response has a significant influence on the course of the disease. Utilizing a murine model deficient in STAT6, we demonstrate that the IL-4/IL-13/STAT6-signaling pathway, which is a central component of the type 2 immune response, is rapidly activated during acute pancreatitis, thereby suppressing the pro-inflammatory reaction and dampening the inflammation-driven disease severity. The deletion of STAT6 in Stat6-/- knock-out mice surprisingly do not affect the numbers of CD206
