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

Irradiation with ultraviolet B light (UVB) is known to suppress contact and delayed hypersensitivity response to a variety of antigens encountered within a short period following exposure. Such irradiation results in loss of Langerhans' cells and in synthesis of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in the epidermis. In the present study the effect of broad-band (270-350 nm) and narrow-band (311-312 nm) UVB on the induction of contact hypersensitivity (CH) and on dendritic cell (DC) numbers in draining lymph nodes (DLN) of mice was examined. Broad-band UVB induced the accumulation of DC in DLN and this increase was substantially abrogated by treatment of mice with neutralizing antibody to TNF-alpha before irradiation. In addition, irradiation before sensitization with oxazolone resulted in a suppressed CH response. The suppression was negated to a considerable extent by TNF-alpha antibodies, administered before irradiation. Thus, one of the major effects of broad-band UVB is likely to be the synthesis of epidermal TNF-alpha which, in turn induces the migration of Langerhans' cells to DLN and leads to an impairment of their activity or function. Conversely narrow-band UVB did not result in an accumulation of DC in DLN or in a suppressed CH response. Such irradiation does, however, cause the isomerization from trans to cis-UCA in the epidermis. Cis-UCA has been proposed as a photoreceptor for UV and suppresses immune responses in a variety of experimental systems. Thus cis-UCA does not act through TNF-alpha induction or by influencing DC migration, and other studies indicate that histamine-like receptors in the skin may be involved.
