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: Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers. The disease can manifest diverse phenotypes -such as mucocutaneous, ocular BD- with an uncertain role for autoantibodies in disease pathogenesis. Altered γδT-cell and B-cell phenotypes have been widely reported in BD, but it remains unknown whether these lineages can interact to promote autoantibody production. Methods: This study included 75 patients with a BD diagnosis, alongside 41 healthy control (HC) volunteers. We performed Results: BD patients with active disease displayed a significant increase in the frequency of cells CXCR5 Conclusion: Our findings suggest that γδT cells may enhance B-cell differentiation into antibody-producing plasma cells in BD patients with mucocutaneous and ocular clinical phenotypes.
