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

The distribution of the interleukin (IL)-4 receptor in normal human and common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) tissues was examined by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry using monoclonal antibodies specific for the human IL-4 receptor to gain further insight into IL-4-mediated inflammatory and immunological events. IL-4 receptor positivity was unequivocally demonstrated on lymphocytes, predominantly T cells, and on blood vessels in many tissues. Vascular IL-4 receptor immunofluorescence consisted of a strong smooth muscle cell positivity and weaker positive staining of capillary and venular endothelial cells. Subnanomolar concentrations of IL-4 induced a genistein-sensitive up-regulation of VCAM-1 in vascular cell cultures. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha induced a genistein-resistant up-regulation of VCAM-1. IL-4 strongly induced expression of the IL-4 receptor on splenocytes (T lymphocytes) but not on vascular smooth muscle or endothelial cell cultures. Receptor cross-linking to [125I]IL-4 revealed a 65- to 75-kDa accessory receptor subunit consistent with a recently cloned IL-13 receptor associated with the IL-4 receptor on both vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells. The demonstration of a vascular distribution pattern for the IL-4 receptor in addition to expression on lymphocytes suggests that vascular functional alterations, transduced through a unique IL-4 receptor complex (the type II IL-4 receptor), may be of importance during immunological and allergic inflammatory events.
