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

Soluble CD23 (sCD23) is increased by interleukin-4 (IL-4) and decreased by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). On the basis of cytokine profiles T-helper (Th) cells may be functionally divided into IL-2- and IFN-gamma-secreting Th1 cells, which are involved in cell-mediated immunity (CMI), and IL-4- and IL-5-producing Th2 cells, which are involved in humoral immunity. Compared with sex-matched controls (median 8.5) we found significantly elevated levels of serum sCD23 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (median 22.7, P < 0.0002), with the highest levels detected in patients fulfilling an increasing number of the American Association revised criteria for rheumatoid arthritis. Soluble CD23 levels were also significantly raised in autoimmune thyroiditis (median 11.7, P < 0.02) and myasthenia gravis (median 10.4, P < 0.05). In contrast patients with either coeliac (median 6.5) or Crohn's disease (median 5.8) had reduced levels of sCD23 compared to appropriate controls (median 11.8), in both cases significant at P < 0.01. Variations in sCD23 may, therefore, reflect enhanced Th1 activity in the two later conditions in contrast to heightened Th2 activity within the three classical autoimmune conditions.
