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

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a severe autoimmune disease that is challenging to treat due to poor understanding of its pathogenesis and etiology. Clearly understanding and dissecting the therapeutic effects of potential treatment in animal models are important. It has been shown that human alpha-1 antitrypsin (hAAT) holds therapeutic potential for the treatment of autoimmune diseases including lupus. However, the mechanism underlying its protective effect requires further investigation. In the present study, we used a chronic graft-versus-host disease-induced lupus mouse model to test the effect of hAAT on lupus development. We performed adoptive transfer of MHC I-aβ mismatched bm12 splenocytes into hAAT transgenic mice and showed that hAAT significantly blocked the production of anti-dsDNA IgG autoantibodies. Mechanistically, hAAT inhibited T cell activation and proliferation, including that of effector memory T (Tem) and T follicular helper (Tfh) cells. In addition, hAAT suppressed germinal center formation and functions. These results advanced the current understanding of hAAT functions and provide a new insight for the treatment of SLE.
