Cytokine and immune cell interaction in immune-inflammatory response during crisis event in sickle cell disease.
Article in African health sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The present study focused on evaluating serum cytokines in SCD cases and understanding these mediators' interplay with immune cells and their impact on disease severity score(DSscore). Methods: The study population of eighty-eight participants comprised twenty-one SCD cases with DSscore>5, thirty-seven SCD cases with DSscore≤5, and thirty control group. Blood samples were analyzed for T cell markers by flowcytometry and serum IL10, TNFα, IFNγ, and glutathione. Results: Serum IFNγ and IL10 levels were significantly higher in cases than control(p<0.05). The median(IQR) TNFα, 100.51(66.8) was higher in cases DSscore>5 than those with DSscore≤5(p=0.04). Both cases showed a significant rise in IFNγ compared to the control group(p<0.05). Similarly, median(IQR) IL10, 7.9(13.3) was elevated in cases DSscore>5(p=0.001) than control group. IL10 recorded a significant linear relationship with Tc-exhausted (CD8+CD279+) cells(r= 0.327, p=0.012) and Th-exhausted (CD4+CD279+) cells(r=0.265, p=0.045). A linear association(r=0.292, p=0.026) was observed between IFNγ and Tc Naive/Effector cell ratio (CD8+NECR). Similarly, TNFα was positively associated with the total T cell Naive/Effector cell ratio (TNECR) (r=0.307, p=0.019). Serum glutathione levels correlatedh exhausted (CD4+CD279+) cell (r=0.393, p=0.002) and IL10 (r=0.589, p<0.001). Conclusion: Cytokine profiling in SCD patients might provide insight into the underlying clinical course and vulnerability toward crisis events.
